This is only my second 10th place finish over about 250 of these. The other time I was all in with a flopped set of 6s against two callers. One hit a runner-runner straight with his pocket 9s, and the other turned his flush. /images/graemlins/frown.gif
This is a $10 SNG at Party. I usually raise to T75 preflop with the two limpers, but I decided to keep the pot small so I could get off cheap if I didn't hit.
