Year of the Breakthrough

Congratulations to my friend Ryan Young, who rolled through a field of 2541 players to win a $1500 WSOP NLHE bracelet along with $616,154. I met Ryan last year at the WSOP shortly before he busted me from the main event. He's a nice guy whose career has been very similar to mine, complete with a pseudo-retirement and sabbatical from the tournament circuit. Seeing guys like that do well is inspiring and makes me happy.
