FT Freeroll: Final Hand Lead Up


I realized I skipped some hands of mine but it's irreverent as I'm sure nobody reads this anyway (not until I turn my freeroll bankroll into something significant).
So I was in the money 6th in chips with roughly 15 players left. I was at 295,105 in chips when my bust out (for all intensive purposes) hand occurred. When we are at the money bubble there was a player with only 5,000 chips left, I expected him to be the one to bust. To my suprise he sat down at our table late with about 249,000 in chips. So he had to be making alot of moves and getting lucky. He moved all-in preflop twice before this hand, with no callers, so I knew he had a large range. Here's how the hand went down:
He limps in third pos for 10,000. I reraise with J's to 45,000. Everyone else folds, he calls. Flop comes [9c 5h 8c]. He moves all-in for 247,536. I snap call knowing he usually doesn't need much to move in. He shows [7h 7c]. Turn As. River 6s completing his straight, leaving me with 1,569 chips, enough for ante and move in [Ac 4s] losing hand. From a poker stand point, I was happy because I made the right decision. From a cashing standpoint, I should have waited and thats what haunting. FT freeroll payout $2 from 27th to 10th. I finshed 13th, with enough chips to make the final table. The final table payouts are: 8+9: $3 7th $4, 6th $5, 5th $6, 4th $7, 3rd $9, 2nd $12, 1st $15.
Had I finshed fith I would have felt comfortable with my bankroll to play mirco Sit&Go's. Instead I am back to playing crap shoot freeroll. Ahh the life of a cheap ass.
FT Bankroll: $2
