I lost 5 times when I was behind and sucked out twice
I didn't lose any races when I got in ahead. I had a pretty good sized stack most of the night so I was able to keep the pressure on most times with the exception of having to really tighten up and be careful for a while when I was seated at a table with Zowie and he had me covered.
* I held the following in the hands where there was no showdown (in random order):
56s, JJ, A 10, J 10, K J, J9s, AK, AK


This was up to the point where we were 4-handed. I got very, very lucky from that point on winning races when I was well behind.
