Just got home Guys.  The quad 3"s were nice. Great Tournament. Really enjoyed it.  Nice reading through the updates.

The quad 3"s were beautiful. (P.S. How many variations of my name do you have)  

Got short stacked when the following hand happened:

Richard King Raised in the Cutoff.
I Reraise on the Button.

Richard looks a bit taken aback. (We do know each others games quite well).
Decides to call and just shove any flop.

Flop is T86.
I have 77, and tank. If I lose this hand I"m going short stacked.

I think I"m probably ahead and call Richards shove. He turns over AQ
Turn is a J
River is a 9

Giving Richard the Higher straight. Ouch. and a mass of chips.

I"m basically in shove/fold territory now, so shove 44 which one player was interested in calling, until he found out I still had 17K left. (Blinds 600,1200 at this stage)

I"m not getting much , so shove 48o when folded to in SB.
Get looked up by shorties ATs.  (How can they call with that rubbish, says he who called an all in with A4s earlier  )
who promptly gets a straight on turn.

Then shove QJ when folded around too and get looked up by AKs.  Neither improves and time for me to go home.

Good luck to the rest, especially Richard King you lucksack.
