I just got back from a 4 day trip to Reno where I won the NL tourney on Sunday: http://www.pokerpages.com/tournament/result11305.htm. Lots of really interesting stories from the days play, not the least of it getting into a heads up rematch with my old nemisis Tex Morgan.
But the big story for me was, when we were down to 5 players, I got all in when I was dominated and lost the hand. I barely covered the other player and was down to 3 T500 chips and had to post 2 of them for the ante. I went all in blind, got AK and won the pot when a K hit the turn. The next hand I was all in in the big blind (and couldn't even cover it), got AA and more than tripled through when a 4 flush hit the board. I went all in again in the small blind with Q8s when every one folded, the big blind called with Q2, I doubled through, and was right back in the hunt.
Just another data point that those "chip and a chair" stories are true!
