In the red with only a minor cash

Played a handful of tournaments tonight - the $22 buyin $40k Guaranteed on Party, a $109 level with 453 entries on Party, the $10k Guaranteed on Bodog, plus a couple random medium buyin tournaments on PokerStars and Full Tilt. Nearly cashed in the Party $109 tournament. I built a big stack in the middle, but was dropping below average with about 100 left, and ended up busting out in 75th (top 50 paid) with AK vs the overall chipleader's 24o (he was deep enough to call with anything, I guess) when he made a pair of fours on the flop. Meh. Win that hand and I'm in position for a profitable night.

After busting in the $109 I proceeded to cash in the Bodog $10k Guaranteed. I built a very nice stack early but lost a couple big hands and ended up squeeking in to the money in the bottom handful of players of the 35 that paid. I immediately tried to get aggressive to build a stack given the massively top-heavy Bodog payout structure, and ended up getting my money in the middle as a slight favorite in a coinflipholding A3h against my opponent's JTd. However it wasn't meant to be with both a Jack and a Ten on the flop, giving my opponent two pair, and a blank turn leaving me drawing dead. KO'd in 32rd, one ahead of internet poker legend TonySoprano who finished in 33rd. As always big thanks to Bodog for the juicy overlays, but unfortunately the bottom tier payout left me in the red on the night.

Hopefully time for more poker a couple nights this week, including another planned run this weekend to win a WSOP Main Event seat.
