Hello everyone. I just finished playing a WSOP Super Satellite on UB and had the dream snatched away at the last possible moment. I have never played in the WSOP, hell i've barely seen Vegas. But I planned a vacation the week of the series and I'm bound and determined to make it. After what has happened these past 30 min, I feel as if my dream was dangled in from of my eyes and then ripped away at the very last moment.

I've qualified for this satellite each of the past 3 weeks with no success at all. Not due to my play, just bad dumb luck. This week, I qualified again for about $40-50 (it was a rebuy so i dont remember exactly). Early on, I picked up AA vs KK and doubled up rather quick. From there, I picked good spots and chipped up til we played two tables. Had a couple scary moents but all and all, good play = more chips. Started to think I had a chance once we made the final table. 2 spots available and 1500 for third. Just to make it that much more difficult, I had Roothlus, P0ker H0, and Sowerss all at the table with Sowerss and H0 the two to my left. I kept a very tight image and picked my spots when i felt i had the advantage. Won two big races against Sowers early on and against Roothlus with 4 left.

I sincerely hope none of you go thru what happens next. We're three handed and are guaranteed $$$, but we're really only playing for the WSOP. For the most part we were pretty even in chips the whole time until I got it all in with 77 against AJ. I hinged my WSOP on a coin flip and came 5 cards away from the dream ive worked 5 years to get to. I even outlasted 3 outstanding players but could not fade 5 cards.

Too all who read this, ty for hearing my story. I dont want any sympathy, just an outlet to vent my frustation and hope I have a better story to tell down the road.
