Small victory

Last night I went to play the Ladies tournament at Treasure Island. Signed up 20 minutes before starting time and then went to watch the flair bartenders at Kahunaville doing their thing. Must have been a newbie I was watching, his bottles went all over the place and he was apologizing a couple of times. Pretty sure next time I get there, he'll be taking orders. Poor thing.
So, at 2min before 7 I wandered over to the poker room. I was sure I've signed up for a ladies tournament, and silly me, I expected a bunch of women standing/sitting around, but there was only one girl looking as if she was waiting for something to happen. Just as I was going to give up and ask, they announced that there were only 5 entries for the tournament and play is about to start.
YAY!! I immediately texted Richard and told him I'm at the final table with only 5 players left. That must have made me look real good (I was hoping).
So, it was me, an older woman (good player), a young scared-looking girl with a backup dancer (or coach, or maybe just a supporting boyfriend), a round woman with an even rounder husband watching over her (he scared me a little, he looked like an ex-bouncer), and another girl who left her husband home and brought tons of luck, cause in the first 30 minutes she got Aces FOUR times.
One of those times she decided to 'trap' us, and limped in from the button. I have 9-4o in the BB,and the flop was Q-4-2. Checked all around (duh, do you WANT me to catch up?), and of course the turn brought another 4. Now I am betting. She didn't look happy but called. River is nothing, I bet, she had a painful look on her face but called anyway. At least she admitted it was her own fault for not raising preflop.
Play was looong, very passive, and I managed to accumulate a lot of chips by taking pots when everyone else missed. The poor scared girl managed to hit a couple of flops, but went back into hiding when she hit the flop, but was outdrawn on the turn or river. She was basically blinded out of the tourney, I almost felt sorry for her.
Older lady got unlucky a couple of times and she went out first, scaredy cat next, then heads-up between me and the Ace-magnet.
Three hands in, I got pocket 10's, she raised, I pushed and she called with A-6c. Now - with my luck,I was ready to double her up, cause I was sure clubs were gonna be all over the board, probably an Ace as well just to rub it in. Board came J-10-10 and I told her I thought she was drawing dead (in a nice way,though). Always nice to end a tourney with quads. (I'm trying to pretend it happens all the time, did it work???)
So I won, not only the prize money, but also a spa gift certificate for the Wet Spa at TI. Now, I still have unused spa certificates (courtesy of my husband) for Red Rock Spa - his comment : 'keep on getting those and soon you're gonna be the prettiest poker player in town'. Now that's a keeper.
