Blogger Pauly giving away a $5k seat

[Talking Poker]

So some idiot actually managed to bust faster than me, and I finished 518/519 when I was dealt the Kiss of Death on Hand #2.

LOL.

I actually put him on exactly QJ, but given the structure of this (needing to win for it to be worthwhile) and the prestige of being the first one eliminated - WITH KK - how could I not call?

Oh, and FWIW... I was dealt 72o on the first hand and considered open shoving it. Now I wish I had.
