Hey guys. I wanted to share my success with you. Recently I played in a 180 people sit n go on full tilt. There were no money rewards. However, winner got a ticket to 240 dollars buy in tournament sattelite. And gueess what? I won it! Got extremely lucky because at the start of final table battles I had only 3k chips. But somehow I managed to take the win after (i think) pretty solid game when we left heads-up. Could look kinda silly for you, because I didn't win any money yet and I will also have to fight in sattelite in which I could lose. However, it is quite a good experience in playing in these kind of tournaments and final tables. Wish me luck in the sattelite! Here some of my played hands on final table:

I was favourite here againt A8 and A2. That was probably the last hand before leaving heads-up. KK helped me to build nice stack and keep things under control later in the game.

Opponent called with J4s. Don't know why, but I think he realised he's done. After this I won my first tournament.
