My Biggest Chip Stack in a MTT

As a last ditch effort to Satellite into this year's WCOOP Main Event, I decided to play in a $5 turbo rebuy. Each seat into the ME was valued at $5200. This satellite, awarded 4 seats with 5th place getting $200. Well, I was able to make it down to the final 17 as the chip leader. Hand #1, shows the hand that put me over $1 million in chips. (That was so sweet.) Hand #2 shows the outcome of a hand that crippled me. Had that hand held up, I would have had about a 400k chip lead over #2. But it was not meant to be. I ended up busting out in 16th place. And wouldn't ya know, the turbo tourney, ended like 15-20 minutes after I busted. FYI, fetter123 ended up as the bubbleboy only grabbing the $200.

Hopefully, I will drink some rungood juice from PokerStars. I'm trying to end my unofficial boycott of PokerStars, but situations like this make it tough.


Hand #1:
After this hand, I would have 1081746 in chips. This is the largest amount of chips that I've ever accumulated in a MTT. Unfortunately, my high would be shortlived.

Hand #2:
A hand or two after Hand #1, I ran into this situation. I was sick that two Aces were gone and my JJ still couldn't hold up. If I would've won this hand, I was very certain that I would've snagged my seat into the WCOOP ME. That's a $5200 seat.
(I'm still wiping away my tears. LOL.)
