Ha Ha. I gave him your name and said to look for a tall guy covered in Talking Poker gear.

And Good Luck. Here's to you hitting another rush at the start of the day. :thumbsup:

TP...

I think the reason the event is paying less for 6th place is this...

Last year... did they pay the same for places 15-18 then 14-10?

this year they are paying 18-10a individual dollar amount as to paying them the same dollar amount so that would leave less money for other places.

Okay, first pseudo-update is in. At 2:12pm, they weren't seated yet but blinds were going to be 1200/2400 with a 300 ante. Let's hope that Mark's on the button and picks up some monster hands QUICK!

He did say he was starting on the button!

Annnndddddd the cards are in the air.

Oh yeah, and Mark doubled up first hand!

nice!

right in the thick of it now...

I think it is less this year because Harrahs is taking a huge fucking percentage. Something like 8% or so.

that could be it as well...

51,000

FINAL TABLE!!!

Saweet! Sounds like he's got plenty to play with now. This sounds like a pretty wild tournament if his ups and downs are anything near typical.

totally, my wife is mocking as I type.

Like an addict waiting on a dealer.
Come on TP!!!

edit-and RR-heres to enough updates to put you over 1000 posts!

Clickin dis.

what the hell is that supposed to mean?

excuse my incoherence, I was only trying to agree with you. I keep checking for updates at a ridiculous rate. Hence this quick reply.

And way back on page 5 or so, RobbieRob expressed sadness at TP busting out of the main event because he was hoping that being the update guy would carry his post count above 1000 posts.

15 players left. Jim "Krazy Kanuck" Worth just got busted w/ AA. Sick beat.

i apologize, i understood your post the wrong way and thought you were mocking me for being so interested in TP's run in the WSOP.

apologize, my bad

It is all good. Your apology accepted but in no way needed. If anything I am flattered because I am nowhere near that clever with my insults. :D

Again, the quick reply reveals my addiction to this thread.

GO TP and great work RR!!!!!

Alright all you update-addicts. This just in off the wire:

"My AA doubled through KK!!! 180,000!"

beautiful, robbie do you have an idea how many players are left more or less... gotta be nearing the final table soon correct?

Haven't heard yet. Last I heard was the 15 I posted about earlier.

Okay. Scratch that. I had just posted that when a new message arrived:
12 left.

Wow

Insane. Take it down dude.

Hell yeah TP! :thumbsup:

Best of luck, TP! I'll drink 3 or 4 for you tonight? What's your favorite? Rogue?
