I went out first…. I netted 44k for my efforts.... (96k for prize money in the previous heats won, and 50k for my 6th place finish.)
100k was the entry.

: (          6th place.

: )          netting 44k!

It is all in the way you look at it....

The entire event was incredible… I was super duper pleased with everything in spite
of me not getting a good result in the last and most impt heat.

Random story – Something that I think the poker world will think is incredibly funny.

A bit of gossip surrounded Luke “Bubblegum” Schwartz’s arrival to the States:
that it came at some cost.  I was curious.  What was this all about?
Was it something innocent or did it maybe involve missing sandwiches?

It turns out that Luke was the central character in a little story I have decided to title…

            “Luke arrives Late to the Airport.”

Before I share the email, two quick things.

1) I promised not to reveal my source.
2) I promised not to reveal the name of the airline.

In all its glory… the following email was sent FROM the airline to the booking agent in charge
of Luke’s travel.

This is it…. VERBATUM….

“I though you night like to know about these 2 paxs we had to deal with today.

They turned up at 1035am 15mins past closure for the flight and he had not
completed there ESTA for entry into the US.
He said he had but he was on the phone to his mother (swearing at her )
because she was trying to do there ESTA and he she was not doing it quick
enough for him.
The checkin supervisor then said the flight was closed and we could not
take him and he went beserk, swearing and kicking the desks.
I called sales and was advised that the ticket was not changeable or
refundable and as he had turned up late with no esta they was nothing they
could do. I told the passenger and was greeted with another barrage of F
words and we told him to leave the desk and we would not serve him anymore."


I wish I had a video of that blow up!

 =================================================

The Premier League was a great time..  I heard that they are thinking of raising the
entry fee next year and expand it from 12 to 16.  I think that is a great idea.

Off to LA today for the WPT Celebrity Invitational.

(PS.  If you are in the first 100 people to sign up for the 10k event in LA for the 26th you
get an automatic entry into this event!  Very cool... it used to be that you had to pre-register
for the 25k event at Bellagio to get into this fun freeroll."
