CRUEL GAME

I paid $45 for this tournament for a shot at a third stage qualifier for the WPT Bellagio event. The table was rather weak, raising preflop with all kinds of crummy holdings, so I limped in with rockets, expecting some action:

Seat 2: ttt1818 ($1,760 in chips)
Seat 3: dudeseeg [AC,AD] ($1,715 in chips)
Seat 4: aronowm2 ($2,485 in chips)
Seat 5: mutabari ($2,165 in chips)
Seat 6: evilbubba ($600 in chips)
Seat 7: pmmp57 ($1,250 in chips)
Seat 8: OTONYO ($2,200 in chips)
Seat 9: xxNOFEARxx ($1,460 in chips)

ANTES/BLINDS
OTONYO posts blind ($10), xxNOFEARxx posts blind ($20).

PRE-FLOP
dudeseeg calls $20
pmmp57 bets $60
xxNOFEARxx bets $80
dudeseeg calls $80
pmmp57 bets $80
xxNOFEARxx bets $80
dudeseeg bets $550
pmmp57 bets $980
xxNOFEARxx bets $1,280 and is all-in
dudeseeg bets $1,065 and is all-in
pmmp57 calls $130 and is all-in.

SHOWDOWN
dudeseeg shows [ AC,AD ]
pmmp57 shows [ JC,KS ]
xxNOFEARxx shows [ JS,JD ]

I got all my money in preflop which was ideal. Even better, the KJ is not suited and it kills one of the JJ's outs. Things look very very good for a $4435 win.

FLOP [9H,7S,8H ] - Oh no!
TURN [QC ] - Now I know it's coming...
RIVER [10S ] - and there it is. The dream comes true for KJ offsuit.
