Stars $33 10K guaranteed, 4/504, $1150.

Kinda annoyed with myself because I got outplayed in a few small pots by the guy to my right and then I splooged all over myself with a flush draw the next time I got into a pot with him. I'm usually pretty good about controlling tilt, sucks that I wasn't when the stakes were this high.

Won this month's FTR200 on Absolute for $145, made a hero comeback from a 7.5k stack at the FT in 8th with 9 left after losing a couple flips starting the FT in 3rd with 37k.

Final Hand was AQo vs. 44 all-in preflop hit queens on the turn and river for trips, ship it. GG SmileyFace.

Final table lasted as long as the rest of the tournament. Good solid plays all around, a bunch of horrendous suckouts for almost everyone at the FT one time or another.

I actually out ran QQ with ATs to stay in the tournament to start the rally, spiked an A on the turn.

Edit:
Oh yeah, and I cripple-shipped spenda with AA from the cutoff when he 3bet shoved from the BB with JJ after the rebuy period ended. We've got a good rivalry brewing here spenda Smile

Also had everyone scratching their heads when I picked up AA, AQo, AA back to back to back with 5 left. Smiley called my raise on the first AA with 99, flop came down KK4 two hearts, talk about a sick f'ing flop for AA against the other big stack and OOP. I breathed a sigh of relief when he folded to my 1/2 pot lead. I think if he shoved I probably would've folded.

Nice run at the 45-mans Biondino.

I've just won three Sunday Million double shoot-out sats in a row which isn't amazing but it's a nice streak for this sort of format.

Shocked How's that not amazing? It's like winning 6 Sngs in a row, which as far as I understand is pretty impossible!

Also pretty lame, 2 3rds out of my last 3 tourneys for $250ish
