I'm not - what is it about $50k per person now? Luck is a big part of the game unfortunately.

alas, lady luck turns against us - David Williams gets all in preflop with K-9 offsuit against Michael McClain's J-J. The board comes J-Q-4-6-X with four clubs. Williams makes an unlikely club flush on the river, and doubles up to about $650,000. Survivable though.

Very nice! Latest - down to 16 - Mike has $1.6 chips - putting him in a big bunch in that range but well behind Raymer.

so it goes! for all you diehards: http://www4.pokerpages.com/blog/

Incidentally Bri - we may come to Vegas this weekend. Wayne Brady is one funny dude . . .

yea, the late night was a little disappointing but he's still in good position and has enough to not be leveraged too badly. he may have gotten conservative after Tuesday night - this is his description of the last hand he played Tuesday - I got moved to another table, and it was also fairly tough.

Not sure if any of you follow this but this is exciting to me. My sister's husbad, Mike McClain is currently fourth with tonight and two days left.

right on.

When do we get the results of the preseason predictions?
