23k KO Final Table

I registered to play several tournaments last night on Full Tilt including both Big Doubles ($69+6 buy-in), the Midnight Madness and 23k KO Guarantee.

I fizzled out about halfway thru both Big Doubles running JJ into KJ in DD-A and QQ into AA in DD-B. I got pretty deep in the Midnight Madness finishing 103 out of 1929 runners for a small cash and managed to final table the 23k KO.

I came into the final table 8th in chips with $63k and the blinds at 2000/4000/500 ante, I still had a couple orbits to try and pick up a hand to double up.

After the first orbit, i picked up 99 on the button and was able to double thru against KQo.

Winning that race put me in the middle of the pack and while I was able to outlast a few more players, I ended up getting knocked out in 5th with 2-2 vs. the BB's K2s to finish 6th for $1150.

The 23k KO has a very good structure with 3000 starting chips and 12 minute blind levels. Unfortunately, i think i only picked up 3 $15 KO's throughout the entire tournament.

Since coming back to play more on Full Tilt, I'm having an ok month sitting at 49% ROI in tournaments as of yesterday per OPR. While I've had a couple of final tables in January, some of that has come from satellite cashes.

Tomorrow I fly off to AC to help cover day 1 of the Borgata Winter Open. I believe Lucko is going to play the 3k $2 million guaranteed Championship Event. We'll keep close tabs on him.
