Out of Event #13

Out of 5000 dollar PLHE event around the middle of the pack late in the sixth level. I doubled up early in a strange, multiway pot with 52cc vs Nick "ahhh_snap" when he had 77. Preflop he raised UTG 3 players called, and I called 100 more with the 52. The flop came Ac 7c 3d. The SB checked, I checked, Nick bet 350, an erratic coked out kid raised to 1000, the SB folded, I called the 1000 cold with my flush/gutter draw, and the Nick made it 3000. The coked out kid quickly called 2000 more, and I didn't like it, but I have to call for 3.9:1 with 12 outs for one pull of the deck. The turn was the nice 9c. I quickly moved in for 5600, and Nick thought for 3 long minutes and then called with two red sevens. Other kid folded, and the river bricked out for Nick. From there the table started to play very laggy, and I may've won 3 more pots all day. For my final 6500 at 2/400 I managed to run AK into AA AGAIN! It is a statistical enigma how I can exactly AK into exactly AA so many times. Oh well. I go into these tournament knowing that, at best, I'm going to cash in 1 out of each 6 or 7 I enter, so I'm not too bummed. Tomorrow is a 1500 NL crapshoot at noon.
