According to tournament clock, this will not break for awhile. Damn. Well, time to fight it out... #pfa46

Did you pack a peanut butter and jelly sandwich cause we know you're not ordering from All American Dave?

Sometimes when it seems like a good table draw it's a bad one these days.

Nothing I could do. One of those days when you can't win a hand. Cashed $1748+1500 = $3248. #pfa46

This completes my prelim events. Thanks to all those who bought pieces. Cashed 2/7 just like last year. Came close to better. #pfa46

The 15% cash thing this year didn't help me, and in fact hurt a bit. Both my cashes were past 10% mark. #pfa46

Looked up how everyone did from my table.

Martin Jacobson, Dmitry Kataev, and Robert Hankins all busted before me.

Fabian Deimann (the good, aggro German guy) is still in it, with 400k in chips (though only about 25% of the chipleader's total, and is 15/36).

Kathy Sawers, a rec player from Montreal who came in with just 14k chips, shockingly finished 39th. She was on her way up from the start, and was the one who busted me. It helped that she was repeatedly getting AA and flopping big hands.

Joshua Curtis finished 108th.

Ruslan Dykshteyn, who was off to a good start, made 73rd place, which was ironically where I projected to finish given my Day 1 stack.

Jesse Capps, who works for the Mark Hoke Show (he told me that Mark said hi, lol), busted around the same time at 71st. He was also off to a very good start like Ruslan.

Interestingly, aside from Fabian Deimann, everyone with an above-average stack at the table finished worse than projected.

Jesse Capps only made $1900 or so more than I did (he was 71st, I was 182nd), and Kathy Sawers only made $4500 or so more than I did (despite finishing 39th!)

I'm ignoring the bounties when giving those totals, because I don't know how many they have (Kathy did get one for busting me!)

This is why it was so important to chip up in this event. To finish 39 out of 2189 and get $6200 for a $1500 event is a total joke.

With that said, the event was fun, and I will play it next year, schedule permitting.
