Hang in there Steve....you know you can work a short stack like no one else!!
Keep us posted.
Tell me about it. We played just over 13 hours yesterday, and 8 hours of my play was short stack poker and I never got a double up once, just got the blinds and antes. Day 2 starts at 2pm here which is 5pm in Ontario, I will update when I can.
Man what a feeling cashing in The WSOP
also thanks everyone for the support
So you basically played it like your Ching Hill game for 8 hours then.
Do you know where you and Greg are over all in the standings for you chips?
Its Canada Day, can't see how you could lose!!!

Nicely done, in the money! Go deep Steve!! FINAL TABLE!
After a flop Satoru Ishii checked and Greg Hartwick bet enough to set him all in. Ishii called, only to find that his pair and open-ended straight draw had been beaten to the punch by Hartwick's and flopped straight. The board bricked the rest of the way and that pot pushed Hartwick's stack up to 181,000
Is this the same Greg? Chip Leader fwiw.
I think it might be...

GL Grag and Steve, this is awesome!

Richard Kirsch Eliminates Steven Kerr
Kerr moved all in from middle position and Kirsch called from the small blind. His A,Q had Kerr's A,6 dominated and when the board ran out 7,K,7,8,Q Kirsch took down the pot. Both players had nearly identical stacks and the chips had to be counted down before it was discovered that the stacks actually WERE identical. Both players had exactly 34,500, and Kerr's stack was pushed to Kirsch.

Recent eliminations just posted, Steve finished 137th for $3,492.
He has bleed a few chips now and is down to about 90k. Going back to rail him now.
I cashed out $3492 tax free. You do not get taxed until you make over 5k
VERY sweet! Nicely done Steve. See you when you get back!
I didn't get taxed on mine, I was very surprised as well. I'm not quite sure what the law is as my payout was $5,500.
