Last night in our weekly home game I made it to the final two. And we traded blinds two times and then he goes all in. I'm BB and I have QhTd I put him on a low pocket pair since he's that type of player. As he turns his cards over he said "Highest pocket pair!" I knew I was in bad shape and would have to catch at least two cards. Flop comes 9x Qx Jx. I couldn't dream of a better flop. Now I have open ended straight draw and a pair. I end up catching a T on the river to win the tournament.

This guy has the worst luck with pocket Aces. All summer I haven't seen him win a hand with them. And one night he ended up going heads up against AA twice in three hands to get busted and had to rebuy.

This was a good win though my first win out of 6 tournaments I've played this month. I've made it to heads up 3 times but this was the first time I pulled out a win.
