Midnight train missing again

I first used this blog post title on August 31 of this year; here's an excerpt of what I had to say:

My bread and butter buy in for MTT NLHE is $200,000. As I've mentioned before, there's a nightly tournament with this buy in which starts at 11:28pm EST and whose late registration period ends at 12:12am EST. I call this tournament the midnight train. Every so often the midnight train goes missing. I always fret that it's gone for good when this happens, but so far it's always shown up again the very next night. Last night it went missing again ...

Last night the midnight train went missing again, but this time there was no obvious replacement. I wanted to play a 6max MTT NLHE with at least a $100,000 buy in, but none were on offer using my standard search criteria. I decided to look for a higher stakes tournament, and found a 6max MTT NLHE with a $1,000,000 buy in which was nearing the end of its late registration period. I jumped in and made it to Station 2. I ended up bubbling the bubble. I'm not going to be a high stakes regular, but it's a thrill to play high stakes every now and then :-)
