the tournament kicked off last night at 7:00. my starting table i started off with 3000 chips. within the first few hands i had knocked out 3 people. my chips where up to 12000. i was rollin with trips and full houses for the first several hands. the guy to my left i didnt recognize people might know him as ruark. he placed 2nd in the all army poker tournament last year. which he had every idea/concept of poker. i was impressed. however, i took him out with a bad beat. which he couldnt help. but i guess thats just poker. later on that evening i was at the final table playing against marcus. who won the all army poker tournament this yr. he had every out every time it seemed like. flush, straight, you name it. i couldnt win. the blinds were rising and rising and my hands were getting flatter and flatter. buffetology didnt even work as he would read me even when i was in position. he'd take the lead out of position. everything just took a 180.. however. after all of this. marcus finally knocked me out on this. and in conclussion my final hand that took me out.
