So I played the WSOP Main Event freeroll on party poker tonight. 414 people entered. I am the chip leader by a lot with 14 to go. Starting to dream. A few blinds steals gone wrong and a coin flip that I lost had me around average as we moved to the final table.

I bide my time, get down to about 5x the big blind with 6 people to go. Zero cards, hard to steal. One double up and a blind steal later and I am in business.

We get down to three and I am the short stack, though with one double up, I would be chip leader. I am in fine shape. 10x the BB. Lots of stealing. It is basically push or fold at this point, until headsup play.

I have pushed on the BB when I was the SB two times in a row. Once with K3 and the other time with 9 10. Neither was called.

Then, this hand comes. I guess the WSOP just wasn’t meant to be. Needless to say, I am crushed.

The Thrill is gone. This will stick with me for at least a few days. So close.
