Sitting 5/11 in the $5.50 (Dorick77).
30,000 in chips which is about 6m ... so might be a shovefest soon.

---

Fugly ending. Sitting 2/6. Shoved QQ into the huge stack limper. He calls with A8o and hits 8 on turn and A on river to KO me. Bah.

Update of Sat. - Tue. for Moose:
$0.00 = 0,0,0,0
$0.20 = 5,0,0,0
$5.50 = 0,10,20,300($44.56)

Moose, I don't know that I can go back and figure out where I'm at right now. I'm around 1100 in points, but sure exactly. If I do figure it out, i'll let ya know.

Last two nights for moose:
$0.00 = 0,X
$0.20 = 0,0
$5.50 = 10,20

...and, not that I know her, but say hi to your wife (she is memoose, right?). She was on my table for the first 15 or so hands of the $5.50 tonight. I asked if she was your wife, but she didn't respond. I didn't have time to say I was a PFCer before the table shifted. It could be she didn't even see my chat, or maybe she was just being cautious 'cuz she thought I was a random person who noticed the name/city similarity between your two accounts and might complain to Stars (if you ended up at the same table).

Ok, I'm gonna make my first attempt at these tonight. Too late for the freeroll but will play the $.20 and $5.50...

That was quick in the .20 On the button with K,6 spades against only the 2 blinds, no raise. Flop Q,6,3 two spades. SB bets 1/2 pot, I call, planning to either take it away on the turn if I don't make my flush. Turn Ad. SB bets pot, I push to rep A but SB calls with flopped "2 pair", (Q,3). I don't make my flush and out after 3 hands.... Maybe 5.50 will be better...

5th out of 156 in $5.50

26th of 58 at break. Anyone else still playing?

ITM, 14/34

out 26th place for $7.26.

(5.50, 30)

Wife went out mid way she told me and I'm up $75.00 for the night, what good, good buddies I have. Played $.25-$.50 for roughly 4.5 hrs, not amazing results but good for that level, nearly $17/hr. Won't be quitting my day job any time soon.

Not sure who else is still playing these.
25 out of 139, .20
34 out of 60, 5.50

The 5.50 is easy points now. There weren't even 150 players tonight.

Grrrrr. So friggin' close to locking up a seat in Argentina. Finished second tonight in the $5.50 despite getting heads up with about a 3-2 chip lead. If I had won, I think I would have jumped to fourth overall for Canada.

At least I have a somewhat realistic shot now. I should be in 15th overall once Stars updates their list. Depending on how the leaders do over the next 7 days, as little as one fourth place finish in the $5.50 could put me in the top 5. Aiming for at least one more top-2 though. Bring on Colombia!

Aug. 7 - Aug. 9:
$0.00 - 0,0,2
$0.20 - 15($0.57),15($0.65),15($0.59)
$5.50 - 0,10,2000($111.60)

11 left in the $.20 that started at 9pm, I'm 4th, 738 started.

FT, I'm 3/9

out in 8th, good points I guess... amazing what you can do when you don't care about the $$$ just making the right decisions...

Good luck Lantern.....wish I had set aside the time to play these nightly.....oh well.

Played Monday, I final table bubble for the $5, min cash in the $0.20...but the g/f final tabled both the freeroll (5th) @ and the $0.20 (2nd).

Bottom line, we both have no shot.......but I might try again tonight.

9th in the $5.50 today. Sitting 5 of 9, I open shoved pocket 10s for 4m from the cutoff only to run into QQ in the sb.

Thanks T8. I'm gonna need better late tourney luck than I've had so far. I've made three $5.50 final tables now, but still only have 2,647 points. Three days left. I need a 1st or 2nd in the $5.50 or a 1st in the $0.20.

This promo is just brutal. I'll end up +$ on it, but...

13th today in the $5.50. Sitting in 5th or 6th with AKo, I shove 15,000+ into an early position 3,600 (3xbb) open-raiser/known donk. He insta-calls me with 68s. 6 on flop. Nothing for me by river. If I win that hand, I'm sitting 1/13 - only needing a second place finish to make it to Argentina.

Stars has got to change the points structure if they do this again. I have three final table finishes (including a second) plus the 13th place finish and a dozen small point grabs ... and I still don't even have as many points as ONE SINGLE first place finish. That is just f***ing retarded.

[rant over]

One last chance tomorrow.
