RE: Chris Tamlyn
I busted out. I finished in 295th place. Still had my decent stack of chips, with pocket 9's on the button. Called a 9k raise from the guy under the gun. (The blinds were $1500/$3000). Flop is T93, rainbow. He checks, I bet $10k, he calls. Next card is a 2, he checks again. I think for a good while and decide he must have an overpair. I bet $25k and he goes all-in. I call and turn over my set of 9's while he turns over his set of tens. Didn't get my other nine on the river and was basically dead at that point. My last $15k went not long after that. I've never been so disappointed to win $24,395. Oh well, maybe next year.
