Last Chance for a second seat...

This could be my last chance for second seat... Won a seat into the 100 Seat Guarantee tournament on FT last night. Got in via a $75 token I won via an 18 person $26 sit and go qualifier. There were about 30 folks the tourney last night and top 5 got seats.

I managed to make the final table with the chip lead and I was sitting with just over 19k in chips, the closest to me had about 13k. We were down to 9 and I told myself to play only premium hands. Well, I almost managed to F it up. We played 7 handed for more than an hour. I lost Ks vs a set and was low stack when I looked down at hooks (JJ). The blinds were 500/1000 with a $75 ante. I was on the button and made it 3k to go. Only the SB called, who was a large stack. I had position and when a K on the flop came, I was like CRAP! He bet out 1k and I just called. Turn was a blank and checked, I checked. Thinking this guy was trapping and I was toast. The river brought me a beautiful J. There was no flush out there and if this guy had Ks, oh well. I'm sure he would have pushed pre-flop. He checked and I pushed in my last 2k and he called with an A high. The game lasted a couple more loops and the set of Jacks was enough to get me into 5th... Whew!

Right now there are right around 1200 people signed up for the tourney, which is a $500 + $35 buyin. There's still a little over a week before the tourney and I could see that number getting close to 2000 before it starts. If they only get 2000, there would be a huge overlay, over $100,000. Nice!
