5k 6max, Jack nine suited!

I played in the 5k shorthanded WSOP event today. Not a wonderful idea since I was still on tilt from cash games and also not having slept at all the "night" before, but what can you do. I was seated at Men "the master" Nguyen's table. He played much better then I expected; without a doubt he was in control of the table, but I suspect alot of that had to do with the fall of the cards. (He doubled up and busted a finnish kid on my right when his set owned the kid's top two pair). Anyway, with the blinds 100-200, average stack was probably 12.5k, I was down to 4.5k. (Two failed bluffs) This was the 2nd hand back from the break, as well, and we were playing 4handed, because Men had busted one of the dudes and the other had not come back from the break yet. Men in the CO to 700, I looked down in the SB at AdTd, and since this was my 2nd best hand of the tourney, I shoved. I got instantly called by men with the powerhouse of J9sooooted. Oh well, c'est la vie, perhaps a mistake to have played in the tournament to begin with, but it was somewhat fun. "Next time".
