Accomplishment!

YES!! I won this 90 player tournament on Full Tilt. Even though it was just 90 players and it's just an online game, I felt accomplished. You know how Matt Damon felt in the movie Rounders after he beat KGB for the first 5k? Yeah that's how I felt, but there's no KGB to talk me into walking back into that tournament cause I have nothing at stake. Not only did I win 7200 play chips to my stack, but I also won some pride and confidence. Is it Morongo time? Let's save some money baby.

It all started with J 9 clubs (talk about an unlikely all-in call), but I eliminated all eight players at my table with two pairs and became the tournament's first chip leader. I continued my chip lead until the third quarter of the tournament where I became third in chips. At the final table this extremely tight player went from 6k chips to 100k in 30 minutes when it was just me and her left. Down from a 3:1 chip deficit, I overcame her by doubling up twice with Q's, and finished her off with an accidental pre-flop raise with 6 10 clubs. It all started with J 9 clubs...

Throw your money in the air, and say yeah!
