$4 buck-180 - Ousted in 7th.

Ousted in 7th.

Pete here. Chase hit the rail pretty early, but I final tabled it. I was getting low on chips; had about 17k left and was 6th of 7. I picked up AJ offsuit under the gun. I figured limping won't do me any good, and if I raise I'm probably committed. I shoved it, and then had two callers. Was against AQ and KK. Bad luck, bad timing. I'll take the cash though, haven't had any luck in 4 buck 180s before today.

Hour # 3
Chase: Still on the damn rail...
Pete: 5th of 11 left with 26.5k

Pete has been making his move, he found himself all in with pocket kings vs a moron with pocket 2s for a 20k pot.

Since then pete has been playing pretty aggressive, stealing blinds, and out playing opponents post flop.

Tune in to see if Pete makes the final table and goes for his 1st career win

Hour # 2
Chase: On the rail...131st.
Pete: 14th of 27 with 8845 in chips

Pete got a nice chip stack after a great read with AQ. After raising 3x to 450, a stack of about 1800 shoved. Pete made the call and held vs KJ. Moments later, his KK lost to.... A TWO OUTER. 6s, who was short, flopped a set. Nothing he could do.

With about 5300 in chips, Pete got QQ after a minimum utg raise. He re-raised all in, and got a call from the small blind. His queens got rivered by KA, and was down to 2200. Then, this big triple up set up a run at the money:

Hour # 1
Chase: out- 131st
Pete: 49th of 61 with 2005 in chips

Pete managed to survive the first hour donk off but laid down the best hand against two idiots preflop. He made the right play, so you would think, but would of ended up having the best hand preflop and his pocket 10s would of turned into a straight flush.
