Token Frenzy and Riverchasers Tournaments

After getting a chance to win a $26 token (which I later donked back trying to qualify for the FTOPS Event #1), I had to take some time to work on my 20th Reunion with my friends. After that was done, it was back to playing poker. I got into the $75 token frenzy, and after a few early problems that put me 84th with 86 people left (and only 26 getting tokens), I double up then tripled up in consecutive hands, putting me in the top 10, where I stayed the rest of the time. Won my token, and then joined the all in fest afterwards for a few hands. While playing that I also worked on the Riverchasers tournament, part of the Blogger series, and actually managed to final table (winning $20.50) before pushing all in against the chip leader with Ah 10h on a 4h 4c 8h board (with the chip leader holding 4s 5c - this is why Min betting doesnt work). The flush draw never showed, and IGH 9th. It should move me back into the top 35 for the Battle of the Bloggers, and the $75 token will get me into the next Big Game later in May.

Tonight (Friday) I give it another shot in satelliting into the $200 buy-in for the $2000 Bracelet Race at midnight.
