    Well right before the dinner break I was down to 2.6K from 60K right before the money bubble. Then went on a megaheater and ended the night at 112.5K. That puts me about 10K above the average and in 8th place with 18 players remaining. Just one hand I wanna post on here cause it was a little ridiculous and I can't believe I pulled the trigger on it and although i lost 2K in chips on it. It cost me 2K to win 60K so I pulled the trigger on a gutsy feeling, here's how it went down with about 30 players left. Action folds around to the cutoff who makes it 7K total, I call behind with 23 suited on the button, BB folds and the SB goes all in for 16K total. Cutoff then thinks and reraises another 15K total on top of the 16K leaving himself with about 60K. If I were to just flat call his raise (which i was not gonna do) I would be left with about 48K. So I thought about it, and then pulled the trigger and went all in over the top. Guy wasnt happy at all and went into the tank for about 5 minutes before folding and I flipped over 23 suited to take the 30K sidepot and freeroll for another 35K against SB's AK which I lost. The reaction of the table went nuts when I flipped over the 23 though, and although I lost 2K on the hand, it gave me the table image I wanted. And I was able to pick my spots to pick up blinds pretty much uncontested for the next couple hours and I chipped my way up to where I'm at now. Wish me luck guys, 8th out of 18 and still lots of work to do.
