As this was the second Thursday of the month, this meant that it was poker night! After last month - when this fell during my study leave - I had some ground to make up on the leaderboard. This truly happened in impressive fashion as I managed to build a significant chip lead before having this all evaporated in a final four-way all-in.
The hands ended up being K4, AQ, QQ (me) and KK. The all-in to match for me was only about half of my chipstack, and with pocket pair, increasingly shortstacked opponents and a chance to win it in one fell swoop, I naturally went for it. Unsurprisingly nothing much came up to match considering the cards we all had, and it was the pocket kings that took it - leaving me on the wrong side of a 20k/10k chip disadvantage in the heads-up.
However, some decent heads-up play twinned with some nice running cards meant I managed to claim the victory in the end and in doing so catapult myself up the leaderboard.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but I probably would have won...
