Out of Event #36

Out just short of the money around 218th place with 198 paying. I won't say much about this tournament because it really stings right now. I played really fucking fast all night, maybe the most aggressive I've ever played. The table kind of dictated the aggression. I was up to 50000 on the bubble but met some resistance and was back down to the average of 32000 when the bust hand came up. Euro who was playing back at me opened to 3500 at 6/1200, very average young kid in Oakland A's hat calls 3500, I find magic AsAd in BB and have the worst image ever, ship. I raise to 11700 and have 20700 behind. First guy tank folds. Kid in A's hat thinks for four minutes and backraises all-in with 8d8c with no FE. I fall out of seat calling. I had really sick feeling he was going to get there though. Dealer places out an ok T75 with two spades. Now even if he turns the 8s I'll have nice redraw on the end. Turn 8h, lol. River X and I'm sent to the rail instead of having 2x avg. stack. It happens, and my life will go on. I got really, really lucky twice early on so I guess the day amounted to a freeroll. Back in action tomorrow in the 2000 PLHE.
