Default A minor tiny non baller poker brag for me (Warning: freerolldonkament)

I know it's not much to high rollers and ballers like yourselves but I beat one of the 20942580357308 1st Round promotions Full Tilt does for the .Net Aussie Giveaway. 630 people freeroll MTT. I don't care it's a freeroll, or 2379 other people have won entry the same way. I'm thrilled that I managed to even beat a 1st round event. I play SNG's, so a MTT win like this is fun. I made a couple FT here and there for these things, usually the smaller ones for the PaD but never won it.

History: There was little action preflop, usually someone would raise and the other fold. If a flop came down a pot sized bet would usually take it. I came in 9th in chips into the FT.


This hand almost won it but crippled me, I laugh at things like this.

2nd to last hand that made me do a double take. I just assumed he had the ace and was willing to put a draw against it.

I don't get much (any)in the way of poker brags but this is a fun but tiny one. Now, if only it was for some money.

Cliff notes: I like thousands of other people win a free 1st Round Tournament on FTP. I share with you because I wanted to have a small brag if even a 1/2800 of a brag.
