I took 1st again in the tournament on PokerStars, giving me FOUR-IN-A-ROW!

I was also playing a $500 freeroll qualifier on the PokerNations poker room at the same time and took 6th out of 87 players (top 15 advance) when I got it all-in at the final table with QQ against 88, AK, A2 and some other junky hand. Only two players had me covered, and one of them had the AK and flopped one of two remaining Aces in the deck to send me home in 6th.

Just out of interest, in a cash freeroll, how do you get paid being in the US?

Because the players in the PokerNations poker room don't wager their own money to play events (it's either free or they pay a subscription, but they aren't putting money into a specific event) it makes the games legal and thus our room can send payments to US residents.

Thanks Anthony, was wondering. Does the poker room wire you the money or how does that work?

I'm not sure how they send payments just yet, as I'm so new to the room. I know people have to list their addresses, so it's possible they mail checks?

I managed some key double-ups. Roxie and I were throwing knockout blows while Jenn hung back with only a few thousand chips left.

Then Jenn made her stand on the button with Queen-high but I woke up with pocket 9's in the BB and sent her home.

Roxie and I flip-flopped the chip lead numerous times, I'd be up 24K to 14K and then vice versa.

The deciding hand was my pocket 9's vs Roxie's AT. She flopped the Ten, but I rivered the 9 to take it down.
