NZ freeroll Tourney 11-09-09

Had a good run and made it to the final table, from a field of 511 other players.
The first person was out after one hand as they were very short staked.
I was 4th in chips out of 8.



Screen shot of with only 6 player left.

Then there was only 5 left.

Then we were down to 4 players and I picked up KK on the button, I had been playing very tight so only did a min raise.

Picked up 86K from that win.

Made a play and didn't pick up a flush and lost a heap of chips to the player to my left. Had to fold to his third bullet bet on the river.
Then just folded as I had no cards.
Went all-in (the first time for the whole tourney) pre-flop with K10 spades.
Player to my left had A10 off suit.
He spiked an A, and I was out of the tourney in 4th place.

A very interesting game, but very long.
Started at 6.40pm and I didn't finish until 11.00pm
But did pick up $7 USD to add to my bankroll.
