I believe I got more than my fair share of it, but it sure was exhilerating!!! What a ride. I was immediately up in the first several hands and then got killed on two hands in rapid fire order that put me down around $100.

I sensed that Jay Sands had the word "poof" spelled out in the talk box, just waiting to hit the enter key!

At the Final Table I thought you had me when I went down to 10K against your 50K, and was a little surprised you went all-in on the hand that you did.

However, it sure is nice to have an AZ 1, 2 finish! ASnd although the money keeps me in future games, the object of my desire was the "Road to..." chip offered by Andy in these Tournaments.

I've selected number 13 and look forward to adding it to my "Collector and Club Related" collection.

I saw that we had some new players and for those reading this (that haven't played), it is still early enough to join in!

Thanks to Andy, Jay and Greg for making these events possible and a special thanks to Greg for his last minute purchase of a couple of Desert Diamond tournament chips!
