Went fishin at the freeze out in Willoughby today. Wish you could have been there Dennis.

96 players started. Made it to the break in pretty good shape. 36 of us left, and I am sitting second in chip count at my table with $5800.

I'm on the button and I get dealt pocket rockets. Couple of calls of $100 and then the fella to by right goes all in. Turns out he had $3700 in chips. So I go all in. Everyone folds and it's just the two of us.

"Turn em over guy's" I flip my rockests, he flips a pair of nines.

Think I was scared? Yes Yes Yes. And with good reason. The flop come 3, 7, 9, turn jack
river 5.

Took me a few hands to recover my senses. Not unusual to lose with pocket A's, but it always hurts.

The rest was down hill in a hury. The hot dogs were good though.
