Not really the big one I've been looking for, but I did make the final table at Absolute Poker's $12500 tournament (entry fee 25,000 Absolute Reward Points).
Payday was $750 for 8th place.
Couldve been higher ... Smallish stack, and I haven't seen any cards, blinds and antes are whittling me down. Early position player pushes in, I have him covered by about 2000 chips and have AJo. I push in, he has TT ... about as good as I could have hoped for, but I don't catch and double him up. Next hand I am dealt AQs and push my remaining chips in. Big stack comes over the top to limit it to heads up ... he has AJo ... perfect ... but catches broadway straight to run me out.
Very pleased though, played well, maybe a bit passive at the end, but the payout structure forced a bit of passive play. $250 payday starting at 18, then after 15, increased by $72.50 for every position, then up to $1500 for the winner. So it was well worth it to play a waiting game as the winner's share wasn't hugely different from 2nd on down.
Still looking for the big one ... but this one was nice!
