I finally used my $35 + $3.50 ticket for a satellite to the $100k guaranteed.

I bubbled in 3rd of 9. I had 5k in chips, both the other guys had 11k in chips and they were just abusing the crap out of my blinds (like they should, gg). I finally took a stand with 22 at about 8 M, and got called by JJ. I flopped a set, and he rivered a straight.

*sigh*
