Well, ETG did a good job in the CP freeroll, but lost out to a bad beat.

I hung in there, playing in the top 30 after the first hour.

I ended up taking 40th, which is the first spot in the next paygrade.

Interestingly, the same thing happened in the O8b tourney last night.

Both times I got all-in on the bubble for the next paygrade, but someone with a smaller stack busted on the same hand.

Felt good, but the CL was at my table almost the whole time, and was doing a lot of raising and almost giving some short stacks protection on their all-ins.

Never got the cards to go against him.

Got QQ right after the bubble no takers, then again when the guy next to me had AA, no help for Beavis.

Flopped very few monster hands, and got most of my chips incrementally.

The one flush I hit was 2nd nut and I ran into the nuts.

Then had A4 in the SB on a flop of AAJ, the BB had AK - that one hurt my stack.
