I waded my way through 5000 players to finish ninth in the absolute poker freeroll.

Five hours and no sleep later I won a whopping $2.  I'm screwed cause I have to go to work.  It was worth it because it gave me some awesome experience.

Here is the final hand where I busted out.

Those freerolls are an absolute nightmare and I applaud you for making the final table.

Well done making the final table. I have played in their freerolls and had to shave twice before they were over.
