I couldn't seem to start a new post in the tournament forum, so I'll just post my brag here instead.
Some sick hands:
-22 players left, I was short stacked (5 BBs.) I pushed all-in from early position with JcQc. Fairly aggressive but I don't think overly for right before bubble. I get called with AQ from the button. I turn a straight.
-7 players left, I'm in cutoff. Big Blind is 8000. Early raiser to 16000. All-in call to my right for 14K. I re-raise all-in with KK for 32k. Early raiser calls. Early raiser shows A9, original caller shows AQ. Ace spikes on flop. King hits on river to keep me in the game, and 2.5X me up, send all-in player home, and cripple original raiser.
-3 players left. I'm on BB(8000) with J8 hearts. Big stack is button who folds. SB min-raises to 16k. He has about 40k chips left, I have him covered. I call. Flop: 9h8x7h. SB pushes all in for 40k. I call...he shows AA. Turn comes 10h giving me straight flush and sending him packing.
Admin note: Thanks for the heads-up, realized the tournament board was set to "read only", that has been fixed, everyone should be able to post in the tournament board without issue.
Congratulations!

Well done! I missed it before cause of all the damn stickiest posts in here. Nicely done, about $2k I imagine.
We ended up chopping 1st/2nd place money and then just playing for the points, so I ended up receiving $1550 I think it was.
