First i have KK in the BB, sb goes all-in with 10K stack and A4, hits his A Couple of hands later: i have AK and raise 4x BL, 1 caller. Flop AK8, rainbow. I check, guy raises all-inn and i call: He has 88 . Couple of hands later: blinds 500/1000. 3 people call Bl, i go all-inn with QQ , 1 caller with 66, first card on the table:........6 , and Jazzy is out! All other big tourney's , only one i'm still in is the Noble 200K, was at 23K stack but down to 13K now after a stupid call by a moronic calling station What's up? How are you guys doing?

Not one of my best days today. Played Ftops #1 as well, but was out quick. AK caller against my KQ raise. K hit, got trapped, Jack out.
Satellited into the 750K this afternoon, but got some bad news from home and decided to unregister. It started about the same time. No use throwing $216 tourney dollars away.
Got some more step 3´s for during the week, just missed the money in a 10k deepstack.... and that was my sunday.
Was doing quite well today until I got that phonecall, and all downhill from there. Nobody´s dead, but it´s pretty close. Guess the personal stuff really screws you up when you´re playing.
Hope some of you do well in the #1! Good luck to Jeff in that last one!

Hey Jack, much strenght and good wishes.
------------
Aaah! After 5 hours in play i got out near the bubble I got my stack up to 30K+, then i went 'carddead' for more than 1 1/2 hour at a table full of LAG big stacks and a couple of complete morons. Because of that i got no chance to make some moves. Finaly found AQ, had to push being shortstacked with very high blinds. One of those morons called with 910 and hits his 9. Ofcourse. Out in 173th position, 150 paid. Dissapointing sunday for me How did you guys do?
I hope that you are ok Jack, priorty ofcourse with the personal stuff, after that gl with the steps , gl in life
