Grrrrr. So friggin' close to locking up a seat in Argentina. Finished second tonight in the $5.50 despite getting heads up with about a 3-2 chip lead. If I had won, I think I would have jumped to fourth overall for Canada.
At least I have a somewhat realistic shot now. I should be in 15th overall once Stars updates their list. Depending on how the leaders do over the next 7 days, as little as one fourth place finish in the $5.50 could put me in the top 5. Aiming for at least one more top-2 though. Bring on Colombia!
Aug. 7 - Aug. 9:

11 left in the $.20 that started at 9pm, I'm 4th, 738 started.
FT, I'm 3/9
out in 8th, good points I guess... amazing what you can do when you don't care about the $$$ just making the right decisions...

Good luck Lantern.....wish I had set aside the time to play these nightly.....oh well.
Played Monday, I final table bubble for the $5, min cash in the $0.20...but the g/f final tabled both the freeroll (5th) @ and the $0.20 (2nd).
Bottom line, we both have no shot.......but I might try again tonight.

9th in the $5.50 today. Sitting 5 of 9, I open shoved pocket 10s for 4m from the cutoff only to run into QQ in the sb.
Thanks T8. I'm gonna need better late tourney luck than I've had so far. I've made three $5.50 final tables now, but still only have 2,647 points. Three days left. I need a 1st or 2nd in the $5.50 or a 1st in the $0.20.

This promo is just brutal. I'll end up +$ on it, but...
13th today in the $5.50. Sitting in 5th or 6th with AKo, I shove 15,000+ into an early position 3,600 (3xbb) open-raiser/known donk. He insta-calls me with 68s. :o 6 on flop. Nothing for me by river. If I win that hand, I'm sitting 1/13 - only needing a second place finish to make it to Argentina.
Stars has got to change the points structure if they do this again. I have three final table finishes (including a second) plus the 13th place finish and a dozen small point grabs ... and I still don't even have as many points as ONE SINGLE first place finish. That is just f***ing retarded.

One last chance tomorrow.
