Pokerstars are running a $9.99 rebuy super-satellite to win a trip to Monte Carlo and entry into the EPT final event. I entered on Weds evening (after my Oceans 11 cash in the afternoon) and was pleased to build my stack to a pretty good size without having to rebuy at all. I did take the add-on and then played fairly aggressively to get to the top 20% of players in stack size. Then I plodded along playing premium hands until I got to the final table.
After all the buyins and re-buys there were 2 entries into the $1050 Monte Carlo qualifier and a third place of $608 (not bad for a $20 buy-in).
So of course I came 4th when my big pair got beaten by a lousy back-door runner runner straight. I was the short stack and felt sure this hand was my double-up opportunity but the poker gods reminded me I am still "bubble boy" at least for a while longer.
Sigh - try again.....
