So Close

The Fish and I just hung in there all day long, picking up critical pots at key times and finding big hands when we got short. With 14 left I busted Paul and told myself to put his chips to good use, but I mistimed a resteal and doubled up the tightest guy at the table with K2s against his KK. A couple hands later I was out in 11th place.

It's so devastating to get really deep in one of these and not bring it home. Nine made the televised final table which would have brought endorsement opportunities and all kinds of fun and excitement, not to mention cold hard cash. For both of us to get this deep and not make it is extremely disappointing, but I believe it is an indication of good things to come. Plus we're now basically freerolling for the rest of the WSOP.
