[ba-poker] Last Bay 101 Super Satellite

["richst" <richst(deleted the rest)>]

The last super satellite for Bay 101's $5200 WPT tournament was today.

Executive summary: I won!

There were 129 participants.  1st & 2nd got a $5200 entry into next
Wednesday's WPT tournament & $4800 in cash.  Not a bad day's work.

Pivotal hand in the middle stage of the tournament: I have T7000.  The
blinds are 800/1600.  I go all in with ATo.  The button goes all in for T400
more.  Everyone else folds.  He has AQo.  I stand up.  The flop comes (I am
not making this up):

                                         TEN  TEN  TEN

The other guy almost has a stroke; I sit back down.  Things seemed to fall
in to place from there.

With 6 players left, UTG goes all in for T40,000.  I'm in the small blind &
find KK.  I go all in for about 50,000.  The big blind decides to call all
in for about T20,000 total.  They both have KTo!  Nothing horrible happens &
so with 4 players left, I'm the chip leader, a position I did not
relinquish.

So next Wednesday, I'm playing with the big boys.
