Happy Friday!
I was planning on writing a LONG, and way past due....blog this morning...but alas, things started popping up all over the place...and now I'm looking at 30 minutes before going down the elevator here at the Encore...and walking about 50 yards to register for today's $1100 ($250k Guarantee) tournament being held in the Encore side of Wynn. I wrestled with a few tourneys but this one seemed to be the winner. It's my first of the summer. My first cash session of this trip was last night after I left Frank Kasella's annual Fourth of July party out at his house...which was a literal who's who of the poker world. In a little under two hours I managed to snag a nice little profit of $1525 in a PLO Omaha game.
I have so much to share...details (and cool photos) of my trip to Scotland, and then London...but just no time right now. And the "March to Ten" has been filled with drama and stress and many late nights of accounting and emailing! But we finally got there....late yesterday afternoon! TEN really solid players going in the WSOP Main Event! Yesterday was flight B...and we had SIX of our players going. ALL SIX of them BAGGED CHIPS! Only one of them finished above the starting stack of 60k...Don Dove...with a little over 70k. Jason Bond was on FIRE early...and was at around 175k...then took a couple of brutal beats to get his stack whacked around. But he still bagged a healthy stack. Bottom line...the structure is SO good, and SO long...that anyone that HAS chips....has plenty of time to scratch back into the mix.
Today...in about 30 minutes...our last four players will hit the felt and start on their jouney to hopefully get us 10 players advancing to DAY TWO! Nothing would make me prouder...and more excited!!
I have a Private Facebook page for the players, investors, and then family and friends...and they all post encouragement there, as well as player chip updates and any stories they wish to share. It's pretty amazing...as we have 178 unique investors this year! Really a TEAM effort!!!
I gotta go grab a shower!!!! Have a great day...wherever you are!
