Paul,

I don't think there is any question about your poker playing abilities. The points show it all. You are a rock solid poker player and a real threat to the other 8 players.

When we got to the final table the other night, you were my biggest concern. Not to say that the others there weren't a threat as well, but no one else intimidated me as much as you.

I would not feel right about taking your place in next Wednesday's tournament for any of the reasons in your post. There is just no doubt in my mind or anyone elses that you should be there.

And don't forget Andy! Just think of the sleepless nights he will have if he has to worry about the possibility of going heads up with me next Wednesday! *lol*
