In case you are wondering what happend at the final poker tournament, things were going very smoothly for me until only five players were left, including me.  I had a decent size stack by that time but I made the mistake of fainting and jabbing when there were four really good players looking to score a KO.  In short, I failed to shift gear in time.

Two half-hearted plays knocked my stack down low enough for the leading player to swoop in to finish the kill.  I did receive a decent prize earlier for knocking out a former champion so my ego is still in a pretty good shape though.  Most importantly, I can now get some sleep.
