Final Table Last Night - Oh and Big Online hand

Finally made a final table last night in one of the stars $20 +2 180 SNG. Finished fifth for $240. Oh well, first profitable evening in two weeks, so I will take it. The most interesting hand of the night occurred in the other $20 SNG I played. I played it like a donkey, as I was in third when I check-raised all in, but made for interesting TV.

I played the A-high flush like a donkey, but really did not expect to run into a Straight Flush AND Quads. And who said online didn't provide action boards. I guess I am getting immune to this type of hands as all I did was stare at the computer and laugh.

Oh well, until next time,

Good Luck and See You at the Felt...............................
