New High

It has been a long time since I hit a high of $2800 and I have finally broke past that point to set a new high.
I was down to $1500 when I entered a $11 buy in Rush tournament with 1543 players.
I took 6.5 hours, and over 1300 hands but I made it to the final two.  The top prize was about $3350 and 2nd about $2000.  My opponent had about 3,500,000 chips to my 1,400,000 and we decided to make a deal with me getting $2443 and up a bit over $2900.  It was a very long tournament considering it was a Rush and I played very patiently when I was short stacked towards the end of the tournament.  I was in last place with 30 players left and was also in last with 6 players left and both time I just waited for premium hands and got a larger stack to pay me off.  I was able to do this because of the slow blind structure as even when I was in 30th of 30 I had 25 BBs so thee was no need to get desperate.
With this payday I now sit at $3950 overall with about a week until the three month point.
