- Outlasted Joe Hachem, Tony Hachem (playing w Sean Keeton), Lee Nelson, Amanda, Donna, John Juanda's wife (apparently)
- Played on a table with Tony. He got steamed after some fish called a big preflop raise w QT and caught two pair to crack his kings
- Joe bubbled
- Had to rebuild my stack twice from super short after my partner's round - he escaped from some very awkward situations including laying down aces on a paired board when some fish ended up taking it down with trip 8s (82s FTW)
- Mostly got respect for my 6-10BB shoves
- Sucked out only once, when my K6s shove caught a king against AQ. Busted same guy with my AQ a couple of hands later
- Despite the large number of live and online pros, there were still quite a lot of really awful players
- One guy minraised my BB from the SB, leaving <4bb>
- Quite a few players were really weak after the flop, check-folding after PFR, or open limping buttons and then checking two streets
- Finished 9th out of 77 for about $1925 (minus buyin divided by two = not much)

Poker is so easy
I stopped by Star City last night to get my bearings before tonight's tournament, and witnessed the biggest hand I have ever seen live.
The game was 10/20 No Limit Holdem with a buyin of 2-5k. There is a young guy (YG) sitting in front of me in seat two with a big stack that I estimate to be at least 10k, and former APPT winner Grant Levy (GL) shortstacked in seat 4. I picked up the action preflop, where the young guy (YG) had raised to about 120 UTG, and was reraised by GL to about 420 (leaving 1k behind). A middle eastern guy (MEG) on the button flat calls the 420. Now YG announces raise and throws a 1k chip on the table. GL goes all-in with his last 1k chip and MEG flat calls again. YG calls the 300 more. Pot is now nearly 4500. Flop comes Q
T
3. YG bets 2500 into the sidepot. MEG goes all-in for about 6k total. I catch a peek of YGs A
A
, and the turn comes the miraculous A. Miraculous, because MEG turns over his monster QT as the blank falls on the river. YG drags the $16000 pot with barely a murmur. Poker is so easy.
