Well, lookey here! I'd like to say it was my great skill that got me here, but truth be told these things can be a random roller coaster. I will say that I was fortunate enough to get into a rare type of hand holding the nuts that set me up chip wise. Mitch opened the pot for about 3 or 4x (still in the rebuy period so it could have been more). Bill was in the cutoff and called. I was in the big blind with KK and put in a pot size bet. Mitch, of course, shoves and Bill comes along for all of his chips as well. I call and we see a flop of 2QK. Mitch had pocket dueces and Bill had pocket Queens. Bricks on the turn and river for a big pot. After that I just managed to stay mostly out of the way to the final table going heads up with Aram.
