    I'm playing in the $3 2:15 with 130 left (126 pay - big deal). I get AQ and raise and get 2 callers. Flop Q85, SB bets 2/3 pot and i push, he calls with JJ, turn and river blank. So as the 20,000 chips come my way the table freezes! When all was said and done it was if that hand didn't exist. But maybe I can win it as I'm still in with 18 left.

    i have one. my buddy was down to 12 in the $30nl when it froze so i watched him the rest of the way (one of the big stacks blinded out his entire 90k starting at 1500/3k, vomit). my friend wound up taking 3rd.

    the guy who took 1st was a complete maniac who cashed for around $3600. he immediately put that on the 25/50nl table and is now making a run.

    i'm not confident enough in my cash game to play that high or i'd be sitting down right now...

    just that when the power went out on stars i was short stack with 5 K, 2nd to last place with 55 left in the satelite to the million. Wound up catching some nice cards/flops, and cruised into 3rd place, and held on to cash/satelite.

    GG bigbaddevil Enjoyed playin with ya, although i folded a set to you :(
