I pulled off 5th place. Probably woulda made a run at 2nd if it wasnt for this hand. Overall I am pretty happy with myself, considering I sat down at this tourney saying to myself I was going to play the best poker I could which meant no distractions such as TV, multitabling, or MSN. Guess I cant ask for much more 8)

5th out of 180 is nothing to be ashamed of. Good job. You went into this pot with the best hand. It just got taken from you by a nasty board. Better luck next time.
