Another small win

Howdy everyone,

My day started out rather bad...woke up way too early with a bunch of noises in the backyard. After a few cups of coffee, I wondered what was happening game wise on the net. So started looking.....

Nothing too exciting, but Stars had some "crazy" qualifiers for the $¼M later on, so decided on trying that. Figured for a $1.10 what the hell! Talk about crazy.... you guys probably know what I'm talking about: they run every few minute with a max of 36 players, xtra turbo with 500 chips. Anyways, by the 3rd game I qualified (cheaper than buying the $11 entry to the event).

When the time game I sat down and proceeded to work through the huge field of 29,214 players registered. Up and down through out, but in good shape for most of it.

I made my move when it looked as if I wouldn't go any further: {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} in good position, with 3x the blinds (6K blinds), I raised. One other player followed. The flop came {K-Clubs} {8-Clubs} Xx. With 2 clubs on the board, I went in for 12K and the other player raised. Figured, he wanted me off the pot, I pushed all in. To my amazement he called!!!....with a flush draw. Amazing he followed me pre-flop with a {Q-Clubs} {2-Clubs} !!!!!!!!! Needless to say he caught his club on the river to take me out in 1,373rd place.

Still took home $46.75. Not too shabby for a $3.00 investment. Still, I had to get "shit" from the hubby who thought I should've fold after the flop. With my AK ???? Right . He doesn't play poker....
