I won a $13 satellite seat to the Sunday Million Tourney on Poker Stars. (I was playing under my fiance's account Balt999). It actually was the first time I played in the Sunday Million and I got to the final two tables. We are 5 handed and I have approximately 2.6 Million in chips and the chip leader has about 10 Million. The blinds are very high like 120/240 with 20K ante. Anyways I get pocket KK's and at the time my 11 month old daughter was sitting on my lap and just as I am about to raise, she grabs the mouse and pulls it out of the computer. I am yelling to my fiance to come and fix it fast because I have pocket KK and now the clock is running on me. I have 120 seconds to act. Well he gets the mouse in but it is frozen and he has to reboot the computer well it take about 3 minutes. By the time I get back on line, I am down to 800K in chips and now the short stack. As soon as I get back online, I am dealt pocket AA and go all in, the BB calls with K2os. The flop comes with K on the board and then another K on the river and I am out in 10th place. I couldn't believe it. If my daughter hadn't pulled the mouse out I am sure I would have finished higher in the money and even possibly winning outright. 1st place was $182,000 and 10th was $5,700, big difference! So when my daughter gets older, I am going to tell her there went all of her college money! LOL. The next day after I cooled off a bit, I realized that I still did great because I outlasted 6,000 players!
