Best Finishes?

[ars9268]

Seems like a lot of you have a good amount of experience in big MTT's and I was wondering about the finish that you are most proud of (its always fun to look back to tournaments you have done really good in).

I really havent played in many big real MTT's since I turned 18 last September, so my own proudest finish would have to be in a free roll (kinda sad).

This past summer I was really into poker but I was under 18 so I couldnt make a real account so I just played in freerolls on party poker to try to get some money I could use on the real tables. The problem was that partypoker's free rolls were only for $500 across the top 10 out of usually 16000 entries (so if you finish 11th you get absolutely nothing).

Well one lucky day i finished a pretty amazing 7th place out of 16,000 people even though I was short-stacked for much of the tournament and took away $42 (for i think about 8 or so hours of play ).

I got 4th once in the same freeroll took 12 hrs but my proudest was a run i had last week getting 2nd 1st and a horrific bad beat tht knocked me out in 18th in the 10 buck 5 crd draw on stars

Here's mine 2nd in a $33 rebuy for $4500 (I've had a couple of wins in this area but this combines a good win with my sickest beat so I like telling the story).

My favourite was the first one i won, a freeroll Hubbles tourney on stars with 10,000 entrants.

Last hand was AA vs AX (i think it was a king), i kept re-raising and he kept reraising till we were both all-in lol (we had huge stacks).

It felt great for days after that. Till i busted out at first hand of the 1000$ tourney you qualify for after winning.
