AG, Congrats for making it past one heck of a lot of players. Second place is nothing to sneeze at, don't beat yourself up over it! I sure wish Bo would have paid you more, it's only fair after all.
Using that $100 to make another $800 sure is nice too!
Keep the good work!

That was me. I recall there being another round of betting in the scenario they gave in the "turning point" hand -- I didn't just call off my stack on the draw [+ pair], I was pot committed/getting correct odds after raising his initial lead bet, so called his all in reraise.
