He's at 6100 with about two hours left to play today. I just got him to text me. He says he was as low as 3400. He also mentioned something about losing a 25K pot. Apparently, he texted Robbie Robb a while back, but that might have come after RR went to bed. TP said the story could wait. I guess he wants to tell it himself.

They say the day you get knocked out of the WSOP Main Event is the worst day of the year. I don't think it's quite THAT bad, but it is a pretty sucky feeling.

Yup, I'm out. I made it until the last hour of play for the day, but with a short stack and increasing blinds, I had to start pressing a little bit. Eventually, I got busted.

All in all, I feel like I played great, with the exception of one possible hand. I sent Robbie all sorts of updates about it (it was a SICK hand), but I see none ever made it here. Who goes to bed at 9 PM PT? Pffffttt! I played for 5 hours after that!

Anyway, I did keep a log of all interesting hands, and I will post them all later, but for now, here's an update to say I'm out. And I'm ok with it. I outlasted almost 2/3 of the field, and like I said, I feel like I played great. There were a couple of times where (in Hellmuth's words) "I was supposed to go broke here" and I didn't. That one big second best hand really clobbered me. I won't type it all up now, but basically, the board was QQQTK and I had AK. They way it played out, it would have been difficult for me to not lose a lot of chips there. I know I played it wrong, but I'm not even sure where really.... It was just a bad hand, and yes, it was for a $25k pot. Losing that knocked me down to 6kish, and I fought with that stack for like 3 more hours, but eventually busted.

More details later. Thanks to everyone for all the support - sorry I couldn't come through with a better finish.

You know, Robbie's updates were much better.

Sucks it didn't work out, but look at the bright side, Full Tilt is already running satellites to the 07 Main Event!

There's always next year. Hopefully, if I put my man-suit on and win a satellite, we can swap a percentage.

Enjoy the rest of your time in Vegas!

Oh well. Like everyone has said, as long as you are happy about your play, that's all you can do.

As well, it was great railing you from afar, especially since neither Rob or I made it to the WSOP.
