Even i was the chip leader from last 22 left i didnt manage to finish on final tabel where the first place was 1760$ .I End up on 13th place grabing 64$ for that. Few bad coin flips got my stack to averege and then i went all in with AJ and run up to AA and i was out . But today is a new fight

The difference in money from the first place was a significant one. But you didnt do bad. It was a nice finishing position with a good prize. Congratulations and better luck next time.

Ouch that was very close to a big score buva , i'm sure it wont be long before you're in that position again and hopefully you get to the FT or even better. GL

At first: Gratz for your winning! But theres a big different between the first and the 13th place in the 10.000 Jab guaranteed tourney at Party Poker. But for a buyin of 5,50 you've won a verry good cash prize. Gl for your next Jab tourney

Yeah sometimes you're in a great position to win a big cash like this but it seems that luck goes away when it really matters. I've experienced it many times. Lose 1 or 2 flips to small stacks then suddently you're average stack and boom get crushed by a suckout and lose.
Sometimes you can go from big stack to out of the tournament in 2 hands. You really have to protect your stack when you're deep but at the same time agression pays so really you just have to do your best, control what you can control and hope for the best
