Hello all So i entered this last night and it was a late start for me, i wasn't working today so that meant i could stay up a bit later than usual . Which was just aswell as i reached the FT 7/9 out of over 2,000 not bad eh . To cut a long story short i was 5/5 in the bb with K 8 and i call the 2x by the big stack flop comes 664 with 2 we get them all in and he shows 9 10 . Oh yes says i but then the magic stars river card strikes and i'm out. I was angry as that was a chance to beat my previous best cash which was about $970 and if i'd have got 4th it was a $1,037 pay out . Anyway still a good one none the less
It is certainly a wonderful win ... Of course it's very unpleasant to stop near the top but the winner is only one and apparently fate was not on your side .... but it's still a good win and I wish good luck in the future game and new victories

Posted by xpok3rkingx: nice , but I would be scared to play poker stars I hear a lot of storys where they make up excuses and take players funds and close there accounts
Do they ? i must admit i haven't heard anything like that,did it happen to you ? and thanks.
------------ Thanks all,hopefully that 4 figure cash is just around the next bend for me Or maybe my next mtt which would be better.

Big stack dominance at pokerstars? Whatever next! Anyway Teddybears... what a fantastic result for you there my friend.... and a well deserved payout for over 8 hours hard graft at the tables fighting through over two thousand competitors. Shame you didn't get a higher placing but be pleased with your outcome. Well done.

A fantastic result for you and i know it must have been disappointing to go out the way you did but you should be very proud of your achievement. To reach a final table with over 2,000 entries is some feat

That´s a great winnin, gratz for that! And this big cash was a nice hourly rate for a tourney with a running time over 8 hours. Ok the different between place 4th and 5th was big, but for buyin of 11 $ Iit was a nice winning.

Thanks all Aye hopefully that will spur me on to beat my record cash out now. Damosk you're quite right with the big stack theory maybe i should have waited..... No i had to with the flush draw.it might have won and if i had folded i would never have known.

That river nine was a disaster, You had it till turn But it was a great finish after all ending up on final table with over 2k players. Congratulations on your win and better luck next time hitting the 4 figures amount you are after to.
