My monte carlo experience and blunder

After losing in the first round I won my next 6 matches and then went down in flames. Can't complain...had a lot of fun.

In my last match at 9away/9away I was holding a 2 cube and my opponent had a closed board, I had 3 checkers on his 2 and 4 on the bar, and my board was fair. He left a shot with only 2 checkers left, one on the 3 and one on the ace, and I hit, picked up the second checker and won the game by doubling him out after I had borne off a couple of checkers (it was a small no double and a huge take, but he passed.)

Later in the match, losing 3away/2away, I made a very bad play on this 6-1 and it may well have cost me the match.
