Back to the tables.

Hand 26: I've got Js, 6h and fold. Player 5 goes all-in and chases the rest. He's now up to $1075.

Hand 27: Big Blind, and I've got a pair of 6's. Player 7 goes all-in ($575) and I figure what the hell, I'll call. He turns up a pair of jacks and I just want to cry. Cards that come up are Qh, 3d, Kh, 3s, 9c. He wins a $1250 pot and moves ahead of Player 5 for last.

Hand 29: I start with Qd, 10h and call. Player 6 is the only one left and he's the big blind. He gives the go ahead and we get Ad, Qh, 6c. He checks and I bet $200. He calls and the next card is a 5s. He bets $450 and I call bringing up an 8c as the last card. He checks, I go all-in, and he folds. I sit at $2275 now which is good for 4th.

Hand 31: I begin with Qs, 10h and call leaving only Player 8 (Big blind). He gives the go ahead and we get 7d, 2c, Jh. We both check which brings us Ac. He bets $250 and I know he's bluffing and call. 7h is last up and he bets $500. I've got nothing and have to fold. He wins $1500 and now has $3425.

Hand 32: I'm looking at Ad, 2h to start and call. Player 6 calls and Player 1 gives the go ahead. 3h, 5s, 4d comes up on the flop, SWEET!!! I bet $200 and Player 6 raises $400. Player 1 drops off. I call which bring up a 4h. I bet $475 which chases Player 6. I'm now up to $2925 which keeps me in 4th. Player 6 is still in the lead with $4125.

Hand 33: Qh, Jd lead me off and I call. Players 6 and 8 also call and Player 2 gives the go ahead. The flop is 8s, 5d, Qd. Player 2 checks. I bet $300 and watch them fold. I move into 2nd, $300 behind Player 6 for 1st.

Hand 34: Big Blind and a Qs, 9s to start off with. Players 6 and 1 call and I give the go ahead. Flop is Jc, Jd, 3s. Player 6 and I check while Player 1 raises $350. I call while Player 6 drops out. Fourth card is a 3h. We both check bringing up the last card which is As. We both check again and split the pot (he had Qd, 10h). The win moves me into 1st, with $3775, ahead of Player 6 who dropped to $3725.

Hand 35: Blinds jump to $200/$400 and I've got the Small with an 8s, 5h. Everyone folds and I hate just giving up hands so I call. Player 5 gives the go ahead and 2d, 2c, Jc are turned up. I check and he goes all in ($375). I've got nothing so I fold.

Player 1 goes all-in and Player 8 calls. Player 1 turns his over and has Ah, 10d. Player 8's got Ks, 7s. Ouch, goodbye Player 1. Last card doesn't matter and is a Jd. Player 1 starts bawling at the table and has to be removed by security. Player 8 now moves into 1st with $4475.
