If DN busts Todd then binks the bracelet, a fifth+ of this site will hels itself off the nearest bridge.

Negreanu finished Day 1 near the bottom of the 1500 Limit Holdem pile, with a chipstack of 12,600.
In contrast, our own Dan Druff is sitting with 36,400, like a boss, at a table with a short-stacked David Chiu.

Since I will be making Day 2, I will not play event 44. Anyone who bought pieces of that will get a refund. #pfa43
Since I didn't sell any action on event #43, I'm going to win a bracelet and 195k. I won't cash in any more events, but you will get a refund for event #44 since I missed it.. #pfa43
Druff/DN in the $
Headsup dual awaits.
Negreanu is stubbornly hanging on in this one. I did for awhile, too, but finally I got smacked out just after min cashing.
Disappointing, but could have been worse, as I looked unlikely to cash when down to 5k with 10 people away from the money.
That straight-over-straight and the backdoor-flush-over-set (both on the river) were my undoing.

Negreanu only lasted a bit longer than me, btw.
Universe... in harmony.
TAKE IT DOWN
With Druff out I am rooting for Bradon Shack-Harris. He is a mixed game player from Chicago, living in a recording studio, who promised to eat a ton of sugar free gummi bears if he won a bracelet. If he wins this it will be his second of the series.
"To me, little makes more sense than following the elation of a first place World Series of Poker victory, with the utter misery that comes from the unrelenting, devastatingly, fiery diarrhea, you get from consuming a 5lb bag of Sugar Free Haribo Gummi Bears, one might acquire after selling their championship bracelet over an online auction site.
I've decided some written documentation of this journey may be in order, and seeing that WSOP #??? is essentially upon us, now seems as good a time as any.
Quite frankly, I have a number of goals, and disproportionately more challenges. To save us all some time, the more condensed, and vague version of my situation is as follows.
I moved back to Chicago not too long ago, after a short stint in Montreal, where I was staying with 2+2 PLO darling alexeimartov. He has a glorious loft-space conducive to playing music, the online pokers is a legal thing, and our comradery, purely from a weirdo standpoint alone, made the idea a thing worth trying. I'm happy to go more into this experience outside of the OP, but basically, I just decided that I didn't think Montreal was my ideal base, and I came back to the states to regroup.
Until this year's WSOP passes, and I have a better idea of my financial situation, I've been fortunate enough to bypass dragging all of my **** out of storage, and finding a place, in favor of staying in one of the dorm rooms at 2+2er electrical's recording studio. I am admittedly not the most interesting person, but I'm well aware that I run insanely good at friends.
Here is a picture of my current writing desk."

"Electrical just moved with his wife to their new place, so he says he likes having someone around to make sure bands aren't defiling the tape reels, but I think he's just giving me a break.
As a mixed game player, currently we have a 40/80 game at the Horseshoe in Indiana on Wednesdays, and Fridays. A private 40/80 game in the city Elec and I call the 'Fancy Shmancy' once a week or so, and the odd 15/30-30/60 game when I can stomach the less friendly company, coupled with the smaller stakes. Our current game rotation has been HORSE + Badugi, Badaci, Badeucey, 2-7, A-5, Limit Omaha High, and Razzdugi."

I've worked with Brandon several times this summer, and I have to say he's one of the cooler poker players I've met. I'll root for him too.
