well as the heading says i reached an mtt final table last night on stars. it was $1.10 rebuy with 2479 entries and it was a slog but after a few scares (there's usually 1 or 2 ) i was there,the final table!!! i was in 9th place with just over 1million chips the next 2 above me had 1.6 and 1.8 respectfully,i thought if i could double up quickly then i would be right in the mix and as the blinds were 75,000 / 150,000 i couldn't sit about too long, well anyway i was on the button when this guy min raises,he had already raised and won the last 2 pots just by raising,so i've got 7-10 diamonds and i figure he's just raising with nothing so i go all in trying to steal the blinds,well the blinds fold but he doesn't he calls me,then he turns over AA,oh s hit the flop could not have been better for me (well it could have but you know what i mean) qd 9d 8s so i have flush and straight draws but when you really need a bit of luck where is it ? i miss the turn and river and i'm out,but i'm not unhappy i got through over 2,000 players to reach the ft and i got $93 so all in all i was very pleased.

such a great result But I believe you were pretty sad that you were so close to win much more, cause you know the biggest differences of prizemoney are on FT ofcourse I am also interested how long it took to get on FT in this tournament. It was turbo I guess?

Very nice result. Buy in tournament with almost 2.5k players is really something. Too bad you didnt last longer. That 7-T probably not the best choice to go all in, but hey better luck next time

aye,next place up was worth $165,then $250,so it could have been a bit more but i'm still happy with what i got.
aye i know Mober,probably shouldn't have done it but i thought he would have folded as it was he had the aces.

You could stay out for at least a round with you stack to see if anyone else would go busto. Almost double the money you were getting there, but you never know .....

Nice job teddy, good to hear and see such a good result for you. That is tough to! To sit through 2000+ players and make it to the final table and come out $90+ ahead. Very nice!
Keep it up and post your next good finish. Always enjoy reading about the Mobsters doing well!

Congrats teddybears73 . nice job.
But what I dont understand; why the hell do people publicly tell how much money they have won? I can only think of one reason; it doesn't happen very often lol
