Nowhere to go but down

I took two poker selfies last night. The first was just after I shot to the top of the leaderboard; the second was 29 minutes later, just before I fell out of first. The trouble with leading a tournament is that you have nowhere to go but down. I'd much rather be in the middle of the pack. I managed to get under the lights, but failed to ladder up, dropping from fourth to sixth. Still, it was another deep run, and another blue session. I'll take it :-)
