3rd WSOP Madness Post (Mad As A Wild Animal)

oh my god i hope ive just had a beat i will never get in a big live event, i would go nuts.

This one started well. limped with 24off as loads of callers in and caught a cheap gutshot for a smallish but good pot.

Next hand i limp with 910std and flop the straight , i raise the flop and a guy goes 1k allin with A10 on a QJ8 board and doesnt hit so im up to over 3k at only level 2.

I start thinking very nice table lots of flat callers so play almost any 2 linked cards but anyway only about 6 hands later:

1010 in the big blind, utg goes 210 from 30 and i debate whether i want to even flop at such a price but the implied odds are there as he has me covered and im still a 2970 stack if i fold on the flop and another caller decides for me anyway.

Animal: calls 180
----- FLOP ----- [Th 6h 7s]
Animal: checks
USFULIFU: bets 360
Cat159: folds
Animal: raises to 2990 and is all-in
USFULIFU: calls 2630
----- TURN ----- [Th 6h 7s][8h]
----- RIVER ----- [Th 6h 7s 8h][Jh]
----- SHOW DOWN -----
Animal: shows [Td Ts] (Three of a kind, Tens, Jack high)
USFULIFU: shows [5s 5h] (A Flush, Jack high)
USFULIFU collects 6625 from Main pot

I decide to go allin putting him on JJ or better and going for the whole stack by looking like im on a draw or top pair. I cant believe the muppet called with 55 but in the same spot i obviously want the call every time. 92% to win that and 1.5% to split it, ouch.

Pot was to go 1st/200 with 5 x $14000 paid out and residual cash to 8th, more importantly i would have had a monster stack and again my fate would have been more in my own hands for a bit anyway.
