2nd final table in 3 tournaments

I love this game.

Jetset $2.50 7 card stud 8/b
50 players started.
I was on the low stack from about 19 - 16 (in the money) and when we got down to 10 I started a rally that took me to second in chips. I personally eliminated the bubble player (aces vs a straight draw) and made my second final table in 3 buy ins.

edit:
Finished 5th. I lost two key hands. One I had a pair of sevens (and some potential for a low) vs two low stacks. Short stack 1 had a pair of sixes up and bet out (1/5th of his stack) I Raise it, in to short stack 2 who has a KT up (there are almost no draws that can rightly call here, so she either has to have a made hand and raise me, or should fold).

Short stack 2 of course calls. They both have about 2 big bets left, and I have them covered by another 2.5, SS1 checks, I bet. SS2 raises (caught a Queen). SS1 calls. I still have low potential, flush potential, and my 7s. Even against a pair of kings I've got a lot of outs so I feel I need to at least call (I may have been wrong here, feel free to disagree with me). So I raise. If I am going to play this hand, why not put them both all in and try to move up? SS2 raises her last 1/4bet, ss1 folds, I call. SS2 turns up a straight and I fail to improve.

Next hand player 1 brings in, it's folded to me (last to act) with an Ace up, I raise (really would like to just take it) he calls. I'm pot committed so I bet out trying to steal it. But it isn't meant to be and I loose the hand (to a flush), going out 5th.

The moral of the story. I need to make more time for stud 8/b tournaments.
