Played in GNLV tournament at beginning of January. Advanced 1st round. Tied for 1st on table in qtr final rd (take top 2 scores off table). Won my semifinal table, to advance to final table. Chopped. Just played February at Hard Rock, in Biloxi. Won my first table. Squeaked by in qtr finals. Won semi final table. At final table, was in 2nd. (6000 behind). Last hand secret bet. Leader to my left. Bet "all-in", except hold back a 500 chip. (I only had 1000 and 500 denom chips). My bet was 19,000. Leader bet half. His bet was 12,500. I stayed on a 19. Dealer had face card. Player couple seats to right with slightly less bet, hit a blackjack on last hand. (Really??!!). The leader to my left doubled all in, after seeing the blackjack. Dealer busted. Out of the big money, as I took 3rd. (3rd-7th, same payouts). At least I had fun making it to finals; Better lucky than good
