Donkey strikes it rich?

absolute $5 MTT tonight, 200+ entries, top 27 pay out. I'm doing pretty well and have an average stack when we get down to 32. It occurs to me that people are thinking awfully hard about their decisions recently. Finally it dawns on me that they're stalling... trying to hold out for the huge $7.75 payday. At this point i have 10k chips and blinds are 600/1200. When the bubble breaks and my blind stealing frenzy is over, i'm at 27k and didn't have to show a single card.

I stay aggresive and get to the final table as the 2nd stack, play well and am lucky enough to get heads up with the worst guy at the table and a 4-1 chip advantage. Quickly double him up, then get it all in with a pair against his flush draw, turn and river are blanks and I've won my first ever MTT!

$300 isn't exactly life changing but it sure felt good. A big thank you to all the poster on this forum... i feel my game has really improved due to some of the discussions here.
