I blew a few hundred bucks on sats trying to get in. Bumped out of last one at 16th. $%^#& So close.


Gotta grab a few hours sleep. They have more later in the morning. lol

DJP

Thanks. No chip yet. lol I did bump into Kev though. lol Congrats to Kev. We both made the last $44 sat thats left, playing on a $3 sat.


Cheer us on. I need the karma. lol I wanna play in that big one so bad i can taste it. lol

Havent slept a wink yet, and I won't all day. I"M STOKED. lol

DJP

The last hand of the original $3 win. No cakewalk. This guy was good. We battled for what seemed like an hour. Even pitched him a deal. I said, "the only thing we're losing here is sleep." He decided not to, and I was OK with it. We were about 60/40 then. Then he went in front, then me, then him, then me. lol. Friggin marathon. lol We even had cheering sections from others who were knocked out. lol One guy says, "Do it for New York." Then another says, "Do it for Canada." lol Priceless.

PS, I even flopped a fullhouse on the tournament "number." lol

Had a blast though. Blew off a whack of cash trying. lol It was found money though. I don't regret it a bit either. The payoff was worth the risk. 16th was a good rush while it lasted. 7 away. I can't believe it. lol It was that close. :spade: :diamond: :club:

DJP

...and I want to see everyone on here win something this year. OK!
