During yesterday's tourney, before I took that sick beat... I actually had an interesting though going through my head. If you don't count the 8773 player Main Event from this year, had I been able to make the Final Table yesterday (definitely a longshot, but you never know - I would have had an above average stack with 55ish left in the field if my AK held up), that would have been three "consecutive" Final Tables I made at the WSOP. That's pretty impressive, if I do say so myself..... but alas, that's just a fantasy.
My REAL pattern, including the Main Event, is that I make the Final Table every other event I play in. And that puts me in mighty good position for next year!
