yay! my first final table at stars last night

[bestcellar]

Finished 7th/550 at the 10 + 1 rebuy last night. I ended up being the shorty with 7 left....200k with blinds at 20k/40k, and I went with A8 when it was folded to me one off the button....unfortunately I ended up against AK.

Got really lucky though earlier twice....cracked AA with JJ with 19 to go, and also cracked AA with A5 clubs when two clubs hit the turn and riv with 13 to go.

MAN ARE THOSE TOURNEYS LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG though. It took over 5 hours to get to that point!
