24 are left, 1500 started. I have T125,000 chips. Stars $3 tournament. Been playing somewhat tight. Stolen a few blinds, probably playing one of the best tournaments of my life, to be totally honest. I am in first position with pocket nines. I raise it up to 14,250 with blinds at 6000/12000. Villain on the button re-raises all in, which costs me $75,000 more. It's about the fifth time he's done this at my table and has been called twice, showing A7 hearts and pocket twos. Everyone else quickly folds. Hero? I'll have 25,000 left if I call and lose. Chip leader if I win.
