Knockouts

To win a sit and go, you have to knock out at least one opponent, that being the opponent you face when you get to heads up play. Of course, it's possible, though not likely, to knock out every opponent. Personally, until heads up play, I prefer other people to do the knocking out :-) Sometimes, multiple players get knocked out on a single hand. I think the most players I've seen get knocked out like this is three. Last night, in the second tournament I played, two players got knocked out on hand 19. That left just three of us, and I had a strong feeling I'd make it to heads up play. I did :-) Not only that, I ended up winning.
