Blushing Brag... $5200 hand.

[Talking Poker]

This was < 5 seats away from the $5200 WCOOP seat in today's extreme satty. I was given ZERO walks today and had to fold to the SB's shove the hand before, leaving me in big trouble. Damn him for not giving me a walk!

I seriously considered folding here, but thought it was just too close that I'd antee off (less than one orbit left) before 4 more people busted. Turns out, it only took 3 more hands, but that's just way too close.

So, I shoved. Obv this guy can fold ATC and be guaranteed a seat, but of course he has to be a hero and call with his Ace. I saw the flop and felt ill.

The turn gave me what I assumed was false hope - 5 outs to win, 9 to chop.

And then, the most beautiful 4 I have ever seen.
