Thanks to all of the stakers both on the thread and by PM and thanks for the good luck wishes too.

I'm quite a bit gutted really after putting in a solid shift of nearly eleven hours with little or no cards or situations to play with but having managed to survive with a still very playable stack of 22k starting the final level it all seemed to happen so suddenly.

First of all on a board of A 2 3 6 I bet 3k into a multi-way pot of around 5k holding AT on the button when it was checked to me and firstly Javed and then Howard made what seemed like reluctant calls ! The 4 on the river caused everyone to check and Howard produces pocket 44 which he has only called with on the turn because Javed's call had priced him in.

The very next hand I find AA in the cutoff and Nick Hicks raises 3xBB to 1200(200/400/50) and I now RR to 3k which Javed naturally calls whereupon Nick makes it 10k. I give it a slight dwell hoping to encourage Javed and shove for 16500 total. Javed folds and Nick calls tabling KK which spiked another K on the flop and that I'm afraid is all she wrote.

I can only thank everyone who staked me and say in all honesty that I gave it my very best effort.

There is one other thing that I wish to say and that is....BUGGER !

Nothing you could do about the exit, just bad luck.

Ralph,

I've just realised, (been reminded!) I forgot to pay you my 10% last night, oops!

I'll cough up tonight, if you come across for the £100, & I'll also give you Compo's 10%, too, as you don't bump into him very often, & I'll get it off Compo when I see him at Luton or Feltham next week.

I had a major "settling up" session at DTD on Friday, with Mother Hen, Stu Hopkin, Evil Pie, Maureen, & Tom, & I settled Tighty last night, I think I eventually ended up about £130 up!

See you tonight, I hope, & apologies for forgetting it last night.

If I'd have known yesterday, I would have!

Tell me how much it is, & I'll settle Ralph up, either directly, or via Tom. (As I did last night). Then you & me can settle up when we next cross paths, as I see you more often than Ralph does. I run so bad.....

I saw you were going well in Bristol, but I've been Offline since - did you win, or spew?

sounds like a right bummer tbh - perfect strategy in these marathon tourneys imho - protect starting stack until +++EV opportunity for double up presents itself. which you did. I can well imagine being gutted about it.
