6 hours later and it's now gone 7am and I've just busted out...in 27th. It's hard to take because I'm really happy with the way I played but have nothing to show for it. A couple of years ago a mate came very very close to the Vegas package now I have some idea of what he went through...
I will write some kind of report of the whole tournament, as there are some interesting spots which I'm not sure about. Final hand, with an M of 4.5 and coming 24/27 I pushed with 910o in MP and run into AA AND QQ. It was a 100k pot and even though my equity is only 16.5% it would pretty much guarantee my seat on the plane. A jack on the river (ideally one-eyed...) would of saved me but no love. Felt for the guy with AA though, as a Q flopped.
Gonna take a quick walk to clear my head and contemplate going to bed or just trying to start the day as people in my house are starting to wake up. But anyway, as they say THATS POKER.

arghhhhh dude! VUL! I know your pain! Next time you play a satellite like this, read Aristons guide to satellites, they are very good and helped me come 2 places off the BAPT twice in a row, little more luck and it's there. Well played though and unlucky, keep playing like that and you'll get a seat somewhere I guarantee. I'm playing in a satellite now to the £40K on crypto, taking a leaf out of your book!
Mate that sucks, really really unlucky, well impressed that you played the big boy though! Can't wait for a full report! Next time...
listen to Ivey's 8,9off hand haha. http://www.pokertube.com/Movies.
