An Amazing Stroke of Luck

I just played in a Stars $6+0.50 Turbo NL SnG, and I had the most amazing thing happen. I am so damn jacked about it, I have to write about it NOW!

Let me set the stage. I have been putzing around, basically holding on by a thread for maybe the last 15 or so hands. I'm the 4th stack at a table that pays the top 3, and I figure it'll take a miracle to get me into the money. Poker gods, I love you all. A miracle is what I got:

Blinds are 300/600, ante of 50 (Level 9):
Seat 1: Tiburon 41 (T940)
Seat 2: TURFTOES (T2925)--SB
Seat 4; Cripes (T1745)--BB
Seat 7: Galvan (T7890)

Antes are posted. I get dealt 6d, 8c and promptly fold with my little 890 left. Now, the miracle unfolds:

***HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Tiburon41 [6d 8c]
galvan: calls 600
Tiburon41: folds whew...
TURFTOES: calls 300
Cripes: checks
*** FLOP *** [7d 2s Ts]
TURFTOES: bets 2275 and is all-in huh?? not too shocked, he did it before...
Cripes: calls 1095 and is all-in huh? this guy's tight!
galvan: calls 2275 wow--huge pot...
*** TURN *** [7d 2s Ts] [Kc]
*** RIVER *** [7d 2s Ts Kc] [Jc]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
TURFTOES: shows [Td As] (a pair of Tens)
galvan: shows [Kd Th] (two pair, Kings and Tens)
galvan collected 2360 from side pot
Cripes: shows [7c 2h] (two pair, Sevens and Deuces)
galvan said, "bye bye"
galvan collected 5285 from main pot
Tiburon41 said, "are you friggin kidding me?"
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 7645 Main pot 5285. Side pot 2360. | Rake 0
Board [7d 2s Ts Kc Jc]
Seat 1: Tiburon41 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 2: TURFTOES (small blind) showed [Td As] and lost with a pair of Tens
Seat 4: Cripes (big blind) showed [7c 2h] and lost with two pair, Sevens and Deuces
Seat 7: galvan showed [Kd Th] and won (7645) with two pair, Kings and Tens

End result: TURFTOES--OUT. Cripes--OUT (with the Hammer!), galvan--HUGE CHIP LEAD OVER ME.

But I don't give a damn. I went from "done" with the next orbit, to 2nd place money! $16.20 for just getting the hell out of the way. I actually lasted a few hands, even though the chip counts were 12,610 to 890. Of course, I was stunned. The first words I could type after that carnage: "chop?"

After not being able to catch a card if you threw the deck at me, all I can say is that the Poker gods have a way of biting the non-believers in the ass. Poker gods--I believe.

I have seen the light. I am now a Poker Evangelist. Believe and you shall be saved. I was. I am now a Born Again Rounder!
