27,000. Really rough two levels.  Couldn’t catch a hand, couldn’t catch a flop.  Finally after being super-tight and building up what I thought was a tight enough image that people would fold to a re-raise, I had Kings and I re-raised.  The blinds were 1,000/2,000 and my re-raise was 18,000 pre-flop, so there was about 40,000 in the middle.  The initial raiser calls me and the flop came Ace-Jack-baby with no flush draw.

He checked, I checked, because I was almost positive he had an Ace based on things he said before he called pre-flop.    Turn was a Ten and he shoved.  I folded.  He showed Aces and Tens.  That was a pretty sick beat. 

Luckily I still have enough that I can survive at this point.  I’m going to have to get some cards here soon, but we just re-drew tables, so hopefully that will work in my favor. 

We’re down to 27 players and 18 pay.  See if I can get the job done!
