Run, Memphis, Run!

WOOOOOT!

Memphis Mojo continues his deep run in the $1K Seniors event. He's made Day 3! They're down to 32 players and he's still got a very playable stack. Read all about it here.

Having played in this very same event last year with Dave, I honestly can't fully describe how happy I am for him. Yes, I'm more than a little envious I didn't get to play this year... but I am so incredibly thrilled he's down to the final few tables.

This year's Seniors Event broke last years entrance record, with 4,425 players entered this time around. The moderately short stack nature and fast blind structure of the $1K events means the action is fast and furious-- you have to be both lucky at times and willing to gamble, but also (ironically) very patient. You also obviously have to be very talented to survive even the first day. The prize pool is nearly $4 million, with more than $627,000 guaranteed for the winner.

I will absolutely be watching the live stream tonight if the Mojo continues to work and Dave makes the final table.

Go, Memphis, Go!

WOOOOOOOOOOOT!

Cash into the Ether

Stopped at my bank today on the way home from work. Stood in line. Was directed to a back room desk. Waited in line. Got called back. Sat down. Filled out form. Handed over $1K in cash. Watched bank manager type numbers and letters at supersonic speed into computer. Watched said cash turn into electronic ones and zeros. Was handed a two page, legal-size receipt. Carefully read said receipt. Realized that I'm now actually registered and paid up for Event #26.

Am going to Vegas, baby.

On to the next entry in this WSOP journey...
