This will be brief … Yesterday I played in the Caesars Palace Mega Stack tournament (actually I tried to play the 1PM tournament at the Rio, but it was sold out so I entered the Caesars noon tournament an hour and a half late). It was/is a two-day tournament with 168 players, and by 12:30AM this morning I had secured a seat at the final table, which will start play at 2PM today. 10 players, $7171 for first, $733 for tenth (they paid 18 spots). I have 313,000 chips, and the average is about 260,000 - I think I’m third in chips, but I might be wrong.

I ran well early in the tournament, ran into some trouble in the middle stages, and then closed very strong in the last few levels of the night. The final table should be interesting - we were playing at two tables of 5 and 6 players until the final table was determined, so I haven’t played with everyone, but my sense is that there are a few pretty decent players, but no internet superstars or anything. I’ll try to get the restart listing beforehand so I can do a little research.

2PM, Caesars Palace, wish me luck…
