ITM Finish at PokerStars $2,500 Depositer's Freeroll! 12-08-09

I finished itm at PokerStars $2,500 freeroll for Depositer's today. First one of these I've been able to make it ITM. Been a huge struggle with the donks and bad beats for sure. Hopefully this will be the first of the 8 I need to make all of the finals. Finished 32nd out of 10,000 entrants for $8. Hope to get more of these ITM's to make it to more $25,000 finals. I had a better finish in mind in this one, but took it all in for 390k in chips with one other in the pot post flop. I got an A,10,9 on the flop which paired my A,J suited.. got called by a K,9 off! He got a K on the turn to give him 2 pair! Would have given me over 800k in chips and put me in the top 8! LOL! POKER! I probably shouldn't have went all in there, but that's what I did.. and I can't take the click back lol!

Here's the email from PS.

Okay... well.... 2 hour game?... how does that feel? Well, if it were only 2 hours, I'd think it was a breeze or a walk in the park lol... take another look at the screen shot my friend..lol! It says like 5 hours 40 minutes! That's just to get that far. These have typically been taking about 8 hours if you were to win one..... and these $2,500 Depositer's tourney's have 8 minute blinds.

PokerStars has other freerolls, several different games, that will qualify you for their Sat. or Sun. finals. I used to play them a lot a couple years ago. I was in one for over 10 hours once! I had made the final table and was in 3rd position with 5 players left... and it was only a qualifier were the top 99 qualified out of 12000 entrants with either 12 or 15 minute blinds(don't remember for sure). I had had enough and got 8,2 off and told the other players in chat what I had and was going all in after the turn lol and got out of it then lol! Some of those used to go about 12 hours back then if you won it...don't really know why I played it that long... you still only just qualified whether you were 99th or 1st lol!

However, now I have been noticing that they have really scaled those 2k qualifiers way back now to 5000 entrants for those Sat and Sun. 2k finals. Maybe I'll think about playing in some of those again after these $25,000 Depositor's finals are overwith...LOL! I see that one of them only took about 5 hours to complete...start to finish! lol!

Wont be the first one somone outdraws you... happens to me more times than I care to remember... it drives nuts to think that my POckt Aces would lose to somone calling an all-in ith something like 5-7 suited or such... its crazy... buts how itis I gues on online games.. when yo have so many people hoping to catch a card and call hands they shoudnt be callng

Nice job and glad to see you made money in the final one also.
