This was my personal best MTT finish and also my biggest cash. I should have won the whole thing, as I finally got a bit of a read on my opponent heads-up and was outplaying him, but Riverstars wasn't going to let it be. See this thread for the details of the final hand.

I wasn't. I went busto, but had like 40 FPP left. I entered 4 of the 10FPP freerolls and finally got a 28 cent cash. Then last night, I entered this tourney.

I took some sick beats during the tournament. Luckily I had the chip stack to withstand them...
