Finally Took One Down

I had an exceptional run of great hand's tonight at the 12:15am Ultimatebet $50 Freeroll. I've made it into the money a number of time's before, final tabled a couple time's, but I'm usually the shortstack at the table and don't last very long against the tournament leader's. We started with 3622 player's at 12:15am EST and 5hrs 27mi'sn later ... I took it down. What a fantastic feeling. My wish is that all Railbird member's, that haven't already felt the "Electric Thrill" of taking a Tournament down, do so in the near future.

To his credit, filhellmouth was an extremely difficult opponent and had come back from the brink of elimination a nuber of time's to make it to the last 30, to win a seat in the $1000 weekly freeroll final as well as making it to the final table. A most worthy and cunning adversary.

Just felt the need to share this with everyone here and to wish you all the very best of luck.
