chrisdboy - jackpot miss
2nd in Main
1st in Mini
Now where have I heard that before?
I was railing the two FTs. Glued to the action. I must say VVVWP and super unlucky. For those that dont know heads up chris lost JJ v A9 and K10 v Q10 both all in pre. Two of the biggest bad beats Ive seen given the situation. I must say you handled yourself incredibly well (better than I would) after these beats and did incredibly well to compose yourself and win the mini.
I felt obligated to do this post because I don't know if you know, I achieved the same feat about 3 months ago - maybe we should start a club (a really sad and depressing club). I had lucked into HU on the main, and my luck ran out one hand too early when I went in behind and finished behind. I was absolutely gutted - didnt know what to make of it and found myself thinking about the hands I played over and over again in my head for days. You on the other hand have NOTHING to think about. You got youre chips in good and thats all you can do. Don't go beating yourself up like I did. It's going to hurt for a while... a few weeks at least but you can take rest in the knowledge you played very very well and were just very very unlucky. After a while the cash will sink in and you wont mind having the extra 1.5k to play with.
Again vwp mate and super super unlucky. Theres always tomorrows tournies.
Will the jackpot ever go?

I love the fact that everyone was backing you. Im sure on other sites people would be selfish and want no one to win it, so they could try get jackpot themselves. But on the rail, people including myself were backing you all the way. Nice cashes.
This is a strange situation in which it feels like congratulations and comiserations are both warranted at the same time.
Haha how depressing.
Amazing effort + result though!
