Hear, Hear!  Great job by Patrick and Eileen.  I also want to
thank Paul Zuzelo and Sorrent for the space and the tables.

I had a great time even though I finished about 30th of 44.

The pot limit game was fun as well.  I played a couple
of games for the first time and hadn't played many others
at pot limit before.

The tourney only gave me three good hands (that is my excuse).
Nobody called my KK or AA.

When I had T$775 left with blinds at 75/150 I was in the big
blind and got AK unsuited.  I was in seat 1.  Seat 4 went all-in
for about T$900.  Seat 10 called all-in for about T$700.  I just
couldn't lay down AK with the chance to triple up at that point
so called all-in.  The big blind, seat 2, thought for a long
time then eventually called.  He had about T$3000 at that point so
wasn't really taking a big leap.

Seat 4 has A9 unsuited.
Seat 10 has KQ not sure if suited or not but I don't think so.
Seat 1 (SB) (me) has AK unsuited.
Seat 2 (BB) has A5 suited and starts screaming for a five.

A five came on the flop.  IGHN.  Three eliminations on the same hand.
I guess I shouldn't have called, in retrospect.  However, I did
have the second best hand as nobody else paired which is worth
nothing.

I look forward to another YACHT, if possible.

Thanks again.
