Flop: Kc Td 8h (it may have been KJ8, KQ8, AK8, etc...)
[unknown action, but hero won pot with a cbet.]

Turn: Nothing really changes on the turn except flush draw comes in.

---------------

Turn: Flush completing hits some of villain's range. Hero checks behind.
River: This is not a great river card, but villain decides to bet. There are many bluffs in range (missed lows, missed flush draws). Hero does have a bluff catcher and decides to call.

2 T. - German youngish male with glasses
3 older grey haired guy, glasses
4 younger British player (was at final table of Splitsville); seemed to have high VPIP, 1/3 PSB on AAA flop
5 hero
6 (level 6) - younger guy with GAP hoodie
---------------
Interesting side conversations
1. A couple players (seat 1 & 4) were talking about Poker Snowie (was it good/bad and does it help with NLHE cash game play).
2. Players 1, 2, and 4 were talking about high stakes online PLO (and player 2 was talking about some of the players playing 10/25 PLO in Malta).
3. Hero is a US citizen - is Bovada good?
---------------

---------------
Level 7 - Blinds: 400/800
5PLO
Hero dealt in : Ac Tx Tc 9x 8x

Vil6: calls
(2 players - 5000 in pot)
Turn: Kx 5s 4s 3x Qx

River: Same as turn.

Hero: bets all in (~14k)
Vil2: folds
Analysis:

(folds to Vil4)
Vil4 (BB): checks
(2 players - 2500 in pot)
Flop: Jx 5x 3x
Vil4: checks
Hero: bets 1500
Vil4: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: This should have been a preflop raise. There was no reason to limp it.
Flop: Hero bets bad 2p and gets fold.
---------------
Three Table Redraw Table Reads (Second Table):
1 hero
2 younger guy, blonde spiky hair
3 middle aged guy, played all mixed game MTTs, had glasses

6 middle eastern - glasses
---------------
Level 9 - Blinds: 600/1200
Hero dealt in HJ?: Ac Jx 3c 2c
Preflop:
(folds to Hero)
Hero (HJ?): raises to 2700
Vil2 (CO): calls
(other players fold)
(2 players - 7200 in pot)
Flop: Tc Ts 5c
Hero: bets 3700
Vil2: calls
(2 players - 14600 in pot)
Turn: Tc Ts 5c Qs
Hero: checks
Vil2: bets 7400
Hero: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: This could be a better spot to check/call flop and donk bet turn/river. A flop cbet may not have been best.
Thus: (x/c flop), turn & river cbet > flop & turn cbet > flop cbet/give up on turn
Turn: Since hero cbet flop, hero should cbet turn too. Instead, hero makes worse mistake and folds.

Overall Thoughts:
Hero was very fortunate to run well in too many all in situations. Hero had a couple spots where he lost all in preflop situations, but they were not for tournament life (or hero stayed alive even if hero was quartered). Hero has no complaints with final table. Hero was fortunate that other player busted. Even though it was a bit of a cooler on last hand for hero, hero may not have even made it ITM if AAw did not get cracked.
