So close but yet so far ... again

 First of all the good news: Pokerspace did really well last weekend in the Freeroll and BuyIn of the OnlineForumChallenge (OFC) and took 2nd in the Freeroll ranking and 1st in the BuyIn ranking.

Congratulations to OFC $10K Summer Series Event Month 1 Winners! JrMontana08 representing PokerSpace won the Freeroll Event on Saturday. CardsChat was the winning forum. On Sunday, dijwaila representing GottaTalkPoker won the Buyin Event and PokerSpace was the winning forum. For the results, click here.

And we were actually close to have two winners for the individual events, but unfortunately I came short and only finished 4th after a little rollercoaster on the final table. I guess the karma of bad beats on Saturday in my cashgame on Stars and the Cake network paid off though because I won with almost every better hand.

I probably could have won but played to win as well, first downfall on the final table: 44 vs 77 after preflop 3bet (as slight chipleader against a medium stack) and all in on flop 2 3 6, no help and lost 2/3 of my stack. I got back up to 2nd place and we were 4 handed, when the next weird action takes place: I push all in as 2nd stack with blinds 2.5k / 5k from SB with 110k, Big Blind snapcalls for his tourney life and 70k with J9os and hits the 9. A few hands later, I can steal twice and get em in again with KQ and the same player calls with 44, Board A - T - 9 - A (how many outs do you need?) ... River 4.

Ah well, karma is a b1tch. Good game.
