This was a good match. A lot of back and forth. WKTSWAY was very agressive and had me confused and on my heels a bit, so I just decided to be patient and wait for good opportunities. WKTSWAY was catching cards early in the match, but was not getting paid off. As the match went on, I caught some good starting hands and some good flops. The following hand almost put the nail in the coffin...

I thought I had him when I got him to go all in with K5 against my AK, but he rivered a four flush to stay in it. We traded blows back and forth for a while until the final hand, when I tried to bluff a flop, and he went all in with Ace high v. my King high. It was only another $150 to call, I caught my K on the turn, and that was it.
Great playing WKTSWAY
Now, it's just up to the wildcard/tiebreaker gods.
