Short Stack Judo Mode turns into win at UltimateBet

Was very shortstacked in PL Omaha 8b mtt at UlitmateBet. Was about twelve off the bubble when i pushed from the button w a hand including a pair of sevens and a suited ace. Two callers. Flopped quad sevens. Winning high hand kept me alive and if not for a low card on the river wouldve scooped. After a round of blinds I picked up a hand that I felt gave me my best shot at staying alive:

I was literally the tournament short stack with 35 people left. I was fortunate to catch some hands to chip up to the point I was away from the bubble and could be more patient. This was that hand:

I was very happy with my hand selection and decisions coming down the stretch. Posting any more hands would probably drive off anyone else who migh still be reading. It was great winning an Omaha 8b tourney at UB. I won 3 at Doyle's Room before they ran off all American players. This was by far the biggest field I was successful against.

And of course the Braves won today while I was playing so that made it even better. Big game for Chipper and Francoeur scored the winning run after doubling in the ninth.

Good luck at the tables everyone.
