Best Laid Plans. . . . .

It's my regular Saturday night invite and we are at the final table. We are down to three. Since we got to the final table I have been pounding the guy to my left every chance I got. Five times now I have stolen his BB from the SB with a simple min-raise. And I'm doing the same thing from the button with any Q7+ hand. Once, very early, he tested me and I caught the flop and won the pot. Now he is folding and I am raising him with any two cards. I figure if he ever fights back I will just fold. All this time I have been hoping for a good hand to raise and maybe I can trap him when he finally fights back.

Well, hand 69 it finally happens. Antes 125 and blinds 600/1200, I'm in 2nd place with 14375 and villian is 3rd with only 9790. I'm dealt OTB and min-raise to 2400. Villian calls and chip leader gets out of the way.

The flop comes . Yippee, I've got him. Villian bets 6375. Oh my goodness - could he really have an Ace? Heads up here I come. I re-raised taking him all-in if he calls. I'm yelling at my computer - "PLEASE CALL"

Villian went into the tank and almost timed out but finallly called. He showed and typed "gg" in the chat box. He figured he was dead and had just given up with the call.

But, of course, the turn was the , and the river the - he hit his runner/runner flush.

I went out the very next hand when my pocket fives, short stack all-in, was called by the chip leader with J6 and he caught two pair on the flop.

Wow. Just wow.

This is still the $3 ($5?) buy-in tourney right? So not a huge financial loss. But that's a bad one.
