I had two very similar finaltables go down and if you saw hand by hand you would think they were almost identical cept in the 100r I was winning flips. The 10r was fun had a good group in the room for sundays hgaving a lot of fun busting balls and not getting much going. I had a deep run in the mil before losing a 300k pot ith AKo vs QJo on a A63 flop he went running spades. I was angry but keep getting deeper in the 10r that had a massive 3k field and 90k prizepool fetching 17k for first. I got to two tables left nad recognized a few 2+2ers and went on a nice rush to get to 2mil chips with like 8 left I had the same stack until I got hu vs this really weak bad player and he had a 7to 1 cl to start and a 9to1 at his peak. I ran him over after that had a huge pot with AQ vs AJ 4 bets went in pre and he checkmiraised me on a KQx8 board when we had a potsized bet left before he c/minraised I called and won a bit later.
In the 100r I and went from being 20/22 to a middle stack by the time we were 12 handed in 100r. I won A10o vs KJo and then won like 3 flips to get a top 3 stack to start the finaltable. Nothing really happened early got JJ vs 10s for the only non flip and then folded a lot and raise/folded a few times ended up getting hu vs hoodin10 he had a commanding cl like 1.4mil to 300k I won a big 800k pot with A8ss vs KQcc on a Qs3x2s board I bet/called his shove after flatting pf got there on the turn. No big hands for a bit pick off a bluff or two from him then he limps like he does a lot OTB I make it 42k at 6/12k with JJ he calls flops 10 high with 2 spades I lead he raises I shove he tanks and calls with A7ss I turn a jack river bricks for all the chips. so 50k in cashes on stars last 2 days been great.

On a wafflecrushing note had some great deep runs this week at belagio events as well as a run in the 1k where fatalerror ran worse then anyone I've ever seen he didn't tilt keep playing great but just keep getting 2 outed and other fun stuff. Still it's great to watch such solid players knowing they are making me sooo much in equity longrun staking is fun for everyone. We had a running prank with thayer too that it wasn't under us but too bad he didn't get a bigger score to get him while hes playing in a belagio event.

Heading to prague on saturday prob going for tlb for the rest of the week with a 1k and 500 pt score I have a huge edge on everyone else.
