Congratulations.

A little luck at the right time never hurt anyone.

6 years ago, when the highest game I ever played in was 4-8, I entered a $500 buyin limit tourney.

The first two hours, I got a huge rush of cards, and had about ten times the starting stack. The rest of the afternoon, I picked off short stacks, when they got desperate, and when we were in the money, I could tell that I was probably the least experienced player left. With three tables left, I am fairly shortstacked, UTG raises, and two players coldcall. I have KT of hearts, and think this might play well multiway.

Flop AJ5 with two hearts. A raising war develops, and we go to the turn 4 way.

The turn is a heart, and I get to threebet the turn, and then go allin on the river, and win one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far.

The chips from that hand got me to the final table, and I ended up placing fourth. Some well timed luck doesn't hurt at all.
