1500/3000/3000 at 50K. Buy a few pots and get up to 62K. Lose some blinds and with 53K (17BB) I get AK off. Mid position raises. He beat me with his one outer Queen earlier and he just lost a big race with QQ vs AK vs AQ. I decide to jam and he tanks. Says he is going to double me up because he feels bad about earlier. He shows 77. They hold and I go home.
Got to win some flips to go deep. But it was so much fun.
