Tour 2787 $1 End 1364 35 Hands

Payout  1st - $510.02,  9th - $39.02, 366-405 - $1.39

Nothing much happened and my chips were going down. I decided to take a chance with pocket 8's. on the BTN. UTG+1 limped in for 60, MP2, HJ, & I  called, SB folded, BB, short-stack raised all-in for 535, which I pretty much expected him to do. UTG+1, MP2, HJ & I called. Though I didn't like calling, I felt I had pot odds to do so, approx 4 to 1. Flop 5h 4s 4h. Here's were it gets tricky as the board paired.  UTG+1 bet all-in for 1405 into the 2705 pot, MP2 called, HJ folded, I decided to call with my last 545. BB had Kh Jh, UTG+1 had Qh 3h, & MP2 had 10d 9d. At this point I still had the best hand. Turn 9h. Well that kills me pretty much though I could still get a FH and beat the heart flush. River 3c. That's it and I'm outta there.

I could have folded at the start and still be there but I'm OK with taking the gamble and try to improve my chip count.
