And yes, I cracked the Hilton Sisters! The sad part of this story is that I bubbled out in 4th place after my AKs (on the button) lost heads up with KK. I had the chip lead with four players remaining and blew it.

Last week I caught a straight flush. Oh well. Yesterday I was on a roll. I won $140 in less than two hours on the $25 NL ring tables.
