S.O.S.

Last night, I was lucky enough to get under the lights in the second tournament I entered, and unlucky enough to hit the rail with a full house. I was the short stack at the table when my last hand began. On the flop, it was an S.O.S. (set over set) situation. I'd been dealt a pair of fives, and an opponent had been dealt a pair of kings. The flop came Kh 5h 7s. I went all in and got insta-called. The turn card was an eight and the river card was another seven; that gave me fives full and my opponent kings full. On the strength of my fifth place finish, I made a profit of over half a million play dollars on the night. I'm headed for the blue, baby :-)
