Second place. Barely. I survived the relentless aggression of lucky lucko21. Sure, I got lucky a couple of times, but I also got unlucky a few times. I started heads-up about a 20-to-1 underdog.
I doubled up a few times to the point that I could get lucko21 to fold to my raises. But I decided to push with 87o and that was that:
Still, this is a huge payout - $603.06 is not too shabby:

Only 38 players showed up and top 5 spots paid. I guess my patience paid off as I was able to keep my stats in the range I like. 261 hands, 20.3 VPIP, 32% went to showdown and 75% won at showdown:
I was actually in the lead for quite a while when we were down to 25 players. But then I suffered the following beat:


Thanks again to MiamiDon who set this up. I really had a lot of fun.
Oh, and on the flipside. I managed to blow my entire bankroll at Bodog after playing their Super Stack $25K guaranteed, $10K guaranteed and a $10 buy-in NLHE. But the second place makes up for it, so I'm cool. I get to go to bed without having to think about the big bad beats.
My bankroll has crossed the 2K mark for the first time.
And I get to sleep.
Good Night!

Nice job. Well played and having also suffered through Lucko's dominating big stack play, I think your patience was duly rewarded.
Congrats on second, very well played.
Very nice work. I went out 22nd or some crap.
