    So starts out to be another bloody Sunday as always.  As I usually do I get a few stacks going toward the end of the majors and have prospects going in the 100r the 500 buy in mil on FTP and  the 65k on FTP. 

    The first tourney I bust is the 100r when my AK runs into Aces for half my stack.  Then literally 6 hands later I am down to 20k stack on the bubble and my AK runs into Aces again!  Now I'm down to two tournaments left.  I build my stack up to 155k in the FTP (running pretty well).  Average stack is around 80-100k with 80 players left.... AJKHoosier is 4 seats to my left and has the table chip lead with 220k.  I am in 3rd I believe...  I have been opening pots but I'm not playing super aggro.  Just chipping up slowly and trying to avoid big confrontations. 

    I pick up aces utg +2 and make it 9999 with the blinds at 2-4k.  It gets to AJK and he sends it to 25k.  I think about my options and decide he is probably 3 betting me fairly wide and I dont want to scare him off by 4 betting this deep and essentially telling him I have a monster.  So I elect to just flat.... I know im going to be leading most flops to make it look like I'm weak here and get him to come over the top.   Flop comes K34 rainbow.  I lead out 28k to make it look like a scared bet with a middle pair and hopefully get him to come over the top.  He sends it up to 90k or so don't remember the number but it basically was putting me all in.  I snap ship in for all my chips and high five the monitor.  He calls and flips over As5s........ there is 1 spade on the flop..  I go thru my normal sweat ruitene and stand up from my chair and slowly back away from the screen until I fade all the outs.  The turn bricks off a garbage card and sure enough I can barely see the 2 on the river to knock me out.......

    Now keep in mind while all this is happening I still have 100k chips with 20ish players left in the 65k.   Most of me wants to go on monkey tilt spew off my stack get in my car and drive off a bridge.  But I don't I tell myself the only way to make your night ok at this point is to win this tournament!!!  So I focus in but the cards arent cooperating.  I blind my stack down to 50k and shove in with AQ on 4-8k blinds and get called by AJ!! I fade a jack and am back up to 100k.  I blind down to around 75k with about 11 players left... blinds are now at 6-12k and I ship in my stack with JToff from the c/o  the button reships fold fold and I see my death AJ!!!!!  I feel dejected and completely waste of a day until bam a 10 comes on the flop!!!  I manage to fade an ace and am up to 160k in chips!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEE.

    I manage to chip up on a hand I flop top pair vs the spewy chip leader and find myself in third at the final table at 330k.  It is then that I realize what table I am at!!! The softest table ever.  They are all nits and the massive stack is really bad and directly to my right.  He is the only aggro player and is super easy to play pots with.  I chip up to an even stack with him and its basically over.  I 3 bet him a few times and have the chip lead and never look back. 

    When we got to 6 handed I had 1.2 mil with the other 5 ppl all having 150-250k and the pot is like 50k a round.  I am basically shoving every hand and they all begin playing for 2nd.  By the time I get HU he has 400k to my 2.3mil. He manages to double Q8> my AQ but I finish him off very quickly after with 99 to his 44.  WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! 

    Ship the 3rd win of the last 4 days (didn't play the 3rd day) and 30k!!!!!
