Level 7 - 300/600/75
First hand, the bloke to my left who is a bit short with 17k decides to go all in (mad - he"s not that short!). AO thinks for a bit then calls. Everyone else folds, obviously. AO has AA, short stack has JJ. Idiot! I then get TT, AO raises, I re-raise and she folds. Then I get 99 UG+1 and raise, everyone folds except the BB, who has me covered and is loose. Flop is 642. He checks, I bet, he calls. Turn is a queen. He checks I bet (perhaps I should have checked, but I wanted to appear strong) and he calls. River is a horrible five, so lots of straights and there are now three diamonds. He bets 11k. ****. I tank fold. He could easily have had nothing, but I couldn"t risk it. Down to 17k. All very depressing!
I call a raise from AO with Q9s. Flop is A95. She bets, I call to float. Turn a king. I bottle it and check. Such an error. Obviously she bets and I fold. I"m really getting quite short now on only 13k. AO raise, loose bloke re-raises and I have AQ on the button. All in! Very scary! The first time for me all tournament. They both fold. Up to 19k. AO raises (again!) and the bloke to my right calls. I make it 3500 with KK (at last, a hand!). She calls and he folds. I am probably pushing any flop with my last 12k. It comes 632 with two hearts. She checks, I push, and she calls rather too quickly. She has KhTh for the flush draw. ONE TIME! Turn a king, but I"m still in danger. River a six for the boat. Massive phew! Back to 36k. I"m folding for half an hour now!
Literally the hand after I wrote that, I decide to raise UTG with 9c8c. Big stack re-raises, and I"m about to fold, when I see that someone else has called him, giving me a decent price. So I call. Flop is K74 with two clubs, so I bet out, the big stack calls and the other bloke folds. The turn is not a club (I really am not hitting anything) but a five. I bet again and he pushes. So annoying. What the **** was I thinking. I even typed "I am folding for the next half an hour". Such an idiot. Back to 17k.
I get AQ in the cutoff. There"s an EP raise and I just call. Flop is all low and all clubs, and I have the queen of clubs. He bets, I call. I miss again on the turn, he bets and I fold. I seriously need some luck! Down to 14k. Raised with 55, button calls and the big stack, who never let"s me get away with it, re-raises and I fold. The other bloke calls and the flop is QT9, so best stay our of that one. He had JJ. A depressing level. Down to 11k.

Level 8 - 400/800/100
All a bit desperate now. I"ve pushed four times in one hour, but no callers. Up to 14k. Card dead, though. So annoyed about the 98 hand. FOLD! Best hands these last two hours: AT and 88. I"ve pushed about eight times and never been called. Lucky, I suppose, but I really could do with a double up. On 14k. On dinner break now.

Level 9 - 500/1000/100
I go through a set of blinds, and then get AJ in mid-position. I push, and the BB has AK. It"s all over. I"m sorry everyone. I know a played a couple of hands badly, and got involved when I shouldn"t on the odd occasion (and wasn"t involved when I should have been, although more rarely), but I also had a distinct lack of hands today. I might play a Venetian event tomorrow. See how I feel.

Nothing to be sorry about Joe. Was great fun to be apart of this and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Very well done, it was emotional........
