Good Times, Good Luck

I won four coinflips on a short stack with my tournament life on the line in the $1500 6-max, then hit a rush that basically lasted 8 hours and finished the day near the top of the leaderboard with 71 players left. What a great shot at a bracelet this is playing shorthanded poker with a big stack and not too many super-tough players left. My friends Jason Dewitt (TheMasterJ33), Matt Matros, and Ryan Young are still in the $1500 6-max as well. The Master fought and clawed and bluffed all day whereas I just won races and coolered guys.

We moved into the castle today. It's great, so welcome after the Rio.

Let's see what else...Congrats to Jason for getting 13th in the 5k mixed hold 'em...Congrats to Toph for getting 18th in the 1k rebuy...Congrats to Mike Banducci for winning the 1k rebuy...Congrats to Napoleon Ta for winning two WSOP seats in one week...Congrats to Theo Tran for making two final tables in consecutive 1500+ player NLHE tourneys and entrenching himself as a top-10 donkament player...congrats to Shannon Shorr for making the final table tomorrow of the 2k NLHE...and congrats to Adam Friedman for finishing 20th in the 10k mixed event, probably the toughest field outside of the 50k HORSE.

Pokernews.com is the best spot for updates tomorrow, though you can't trust everything you read on the internet. I'm feeling real good about this tournament. Could be the one.

I see you're third in chips right now, but I still remember when you were short stacked in Baden at the final table. You looked intimidating and confident. I'd say draw on that image, except that you didn't win. So build on that image and take down the whole tourney!
