 Ugarte's Poker Grovel #24, or Shortest ... Tournament ... Ever

Last night I decided to play in a $5 satellite for entry into a WPT satellite with a $615 entry fee at Bugsy’s Club. I don’t even need the “more” button.

You start with T10,000, blinds are 50/25. First hand, UTG, I folded rags, the player two seats to my left went all in and everyone folded.  Second hand, QQ in the big blind, three limpers, including the small blind and Mr. All-In.  I raise to T200 and get two callers.  Flop is J-6-5.  All-in bets T200, I raise to T1000, he reraises all-in, I call.  He flips J5 and I am out of the tournament.  Somehow, there were already two people busted out before me.

Chastened, I slunk over to the softer $10+1 SNGs at PokerStars.  2d place allowed me to finish up eleven dollars, but down a lot of pride.
