The Epitomy Of Wafflecrush

Jesus.....just Jesus, maybe I shouldn't be surprised by now. You'd expect when Wafflecrush profited over 60k in one Sunday I'd be ecstatic. But not today.
I'm gonna start off by congragulating Ray and Carter for playing amazing today. Everyone had deepish runs but these two stood out.
Carter went deep in the Sunday Million. Carter played amazing poker I don't think he got it in bad once in the last 100 people remaining. Carter final tabled and had about 25 BB's when the following hand happened. Blinds 200k/400k/, Carter's sitting in the SB with about 9.5 million, and the Villain is on the button with about 25 million. It folds to the button who raises to 1.1 million, Carter makes it 3.2 million and the button snap shoves. Carter quickly calls and turns over QQ and the Villain flips over A4cc. The flop comes 367cc. The turn is a 7. The river is an A and Carter is eliminated in 7th. He makes 20k in cash but that pot would have given him almost a 2x chiplead. Again, it's unfortunate this happened, but let's not forget about how amazing Carter played and hope that his awesome play continues.
Ray followed this up with an amazing run of his own. Ray was chipleader of the 100r with about 60 people left. He kept building and building and I have to say that until the final table he ran pretty horrible. At one point when the average stack was 200k, Ray lost 250k in pots in a 10 minute span, A4 losing to Q5, AK losing to A6, and AQ to A10. This didn't stop him and he ended up winning th tournament! He ran really hot heads up hitting two open ended straight draws all in against pairs. Ray played a really great tournament and deserved this more than anyone. Let's hope this is a trend that continues for Wafflecrush!
