1st Place this time!

Ryerson Poker Society held its first big poker tournament this weekend. 200 players showed up for the $1500 freeroll sponsored by Scorepoker.

It was a great tournament even though it was once again a bit fast for my taste. We started with 1000 in chips, blinds at 25/50 and increasing every 11 mins.
First was the table game, top 2 move on, done and done.
Then the 22 players or so left played with 100 in chips and a new blind structure of 1/2 doubling every 12 mins.
Yes it sounds weird but whatever I guess.

Final table 7 people, I bust out every one of them. Got a lucky river to give me the flush and the other guy the straight. And after that the cards never let me down.
Heads up lasted only two hands. This is how it went down:
I am big blind, he is sort of short stacked, he says all in, i look down at 8-3, I fold, he slips over 6 2, he says I am just planting a seed. *right...*
Next hand I have ace 7, i say all in, he stares then says call, thinking I am doing the same thing, he flips over queen 6.
Ace on the flop and the river, trips I win.
Lots of fun and can't wait for the next tournament....anywhere.
