Here is mine.   In 2015 I was in a qualifier at Firekeepers Casino in Also

Here is mine.   In 2015 I played in a qualifier at Firekeepers Casino in Battle Creek Michigan for an $1100 ticket  into the MSPT main event.   It cost $260 and it paid the top 20% which came out to 15 people getting tickets and 16th  place getting $880.   My strategy was to play tight and pick my spots carefully since 5x the starting stack will be the average stack when the game ends.  In this game that would be 50K.

This is what happened.    With 20 players left we had a redraw for new seats.   I got seat 1 with about 60K   and I noticed the chipleader was in seat 6..  My default plan was to  muck my way to a ticket.  As  it  turned out   I took out seat nine  on the first restart hand, leaving 19 players and giving me about70K.   A player was  eliminated from the other table leaving 18.  I then took out the player in seat 10 leaving 17 and giving me about 115K.    I noticed  seat 6 had been in every hand and always raising and his stack had  dwindled to about 80k leaving him in 2nd place.

In the next hand seat 5 was the BB,  seat 6 was the former chip leader,  and seats 7 and 8 were the lowest stacks  both with less than 2 bb.  Seat 6 raised from the hot seat,   it was folded to me  I saw that I had AA and I  3-bet,  then  he 4 bet,  so I called.   The flop was Axx, the board was dryer than the sahara desert .  Seat six bet  I raised him and he shoved..   I rechecked the board ,  recounted stacks to see I was about 35K better than him so I called him.   He was toast and bubbled out in 17th  place for no prize.    AS he left someone asked: "what was he thinking".    One of the short stacks answered:  "I don't know but I am glad he thought.

Note:   If he had had more chips than me I would have folded pre flop.  If the flop had been wet I would have mucked.

Lesson learned,  Pay attention
