Last night, in the first tournament I entered, I got to heads up at the end of hand 50. I had the chip lead, with $4,410 to my opponent's $1,590. Thus began an epic heads up battle. On hand 60, my stack took a huge hit when my two pair lost to a straight; I lost $2,640, bringing my stack all the way down to $720. It dropped to $420 after two more hands, and I was essentially on life support. I'm proud to say I was able to battle back from this virtually certain defeat. With grit and luck, I brought my stack back up to a high of $4,245 on hand 79. Alas, that was to be my last hurrah. I finally hit the felt on hand 97. I'm certain this is the longest heads up battle I've ever had in a tournament - 47 hands. I don't even mind that I lost it, since it was so well played by both players.
