took home $3,154 for finishing 18th in the 500NL. the 950 player sold-out field was the biggest ever for a $500 buy-in tournament. played well all day. “cardplayer.com report”:http://new.cardplayer.com/tournaments/results.php?event_id=244sat next to juha helppi for a few hours. i predict that kid’s going to be a star. he’s got nerves of steel. came to the table short-stacked, built it up, took some bad beats, short again, and then came back again to finish 4th?

i also played 2 other events. busted out of the limit tournament in record time after a string of beats. AQ, AK, AQ, KK… leading when i put the money in every time, lost them all, and IGHN (i go home now)
