Down to esattech, davsimon, breakfastman and myself. Breakfastman is the shortstack and is basically forced allin and esattech calls him. Breakfastman turns over 67s and esattech turns over 34o. Of course, Breakfastman's 67s hold up.
Next hand, I'm hurting and get dealt AJo on the BB and go allin. Breakfastman, still shortstacked goes allin with 98o (I believe, I know he had a 9) and esattech calls with 77. Of course a 9 hits the flop and no A or J and I bubble!!
That's some shitass luck if ever I saw it! Am I bitter? Of course!!!!!

Hey jmrogers7
My forced all-in win with the 67o was as lucky as I have ever been. Even though esattech had a hugh chip lead, I came back to out chip him. He turned it around and won. It does show that all you need is a chip and a chair.
Oh, by the way, sorry, sorta

Breakfast definately came back to over stack a couple of times, I thought I was going to loose at one point. It was a very hard fought heads up battle. Very close. With only 23 people, it was only 3 tables, but I still had a great time. Good Game everyone!

Not a problem.. I am still bitter though!
There is no doubt that you have to have a little luck to win or go deep in any tourney. Case in point, I outdrew 2 people when I called their allin and busted both of them. Had the best hand preflop once but the other I outdrew them on. So, luck is definitely a factor whether anyone wants to admit it or not!
I thought esattech would just cruise to victory. Nice job playing him tough head's up and nice job, esattech, on the win.
I had a blast!

I was witness to thw whole thing. It was ugly. And I thought ESa had it in the bag with the size of the stack he had, but Breakfast took it to him but good. Very entertaining heads up play.

I'm surprised I went as far as I did....horrible run of cards. No pockt pairs above 8s and my biggest hand was A-Q. I did my best to steal and hang on by my fingernails - great game everyone.....and congratulations esattech!
