Taking Down $2568.33 in the Midnight Madness!

Just took down my biggest score to date, for over $2500! I'm ecstatic with my performance, early in the tournament I made one of the biggest HERO calls of my life. The call defined my tournament, it gave me all the confidence I needed, and it provided me with a nice stack to stay in the tournament! These two hands happened back to back, which helped out A LOT! So glad I played in this tournament tonight, it was spur of the moment, I even told my friend moose that I was going to win it. Well I came close but decided to take the sure thing and do a deal. I'm sure my friend would have done the same thing if he was in my position.

Maybe not the sickest hero call, but it was definitely hard to do at the time!
