this is way OT and can be moved wherever the post police need it moved.
I am just excited and had to tell you guys.
My brother has 381,600 in chips and the average chip count is 110,000 at the start of Day 3.
Some of you don't play cards but pretty cool to see your brother on the front page of worldseriesofpoker.com on the leader board.
He also has pictures under the picture tab and his name is James Burns and they are on page 1 of the photos.
He is the enforcer of the family and the card player.

i went through a big online poker phase (along with everyone else) a few years ago. almost made the ME through a $1K FT satellite that i was in. alas top 12 made it and I came in 16th or something.
how many players are playing this year?
<< <i>Most of you don't play cards >>
I have found that many collectors are card players (including many on this board). Need a fix.
Anybody else on here like beer?
Oh yeah, congrats to your brother, hopefully he can make the money.
BTW, I can see why he ended up with all the best cards growing up.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

This is truly awesome to hear. Will be keeping track of him. Good luck to your bro!
Sunglasses. Check

Sure sign of someone who started playing after 2003.
Good for him. Does he have a twitter so we can follow his action?
I had a buddy go out in a horrible hand yesterday. All in pre flop. Pot 110K
Buddy KK, Euro kid (In same getup as your brother) QQ
Flop QQ2....Ewwwwwwwwww

6500+ players.
He got in with a $1,000 satelite in Vegas with 920+ people and top 92 got a seat.

We used to play three card guts for our allowance with our dad back in the 80s/early 90s.
Our father taught us when we were knee high to play cards.
We played hold'em when Rounders came out.
He has a career in sales and does this for fun to chase a dream. However, this time he might catch it.
Yeah to be in preflop and go out like that is sick for your buddy.
Jim got to shove when he hit the flop if I remember it correctly and was ahead.

If I had pocket Qs on a flop like that.....I probably would have crapped my BVDs.....Is that a tell?

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Thats awesome!
I see that he had a cash a few years back.
Tell him the CU members are rooting for him

Couldn't have said it any better. A kid I used to teach brother busted out yeterday (2c).
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
it would be so so cool if he can follow in those foot steps
you know! they say that history repeats it self.
<< <i>Nathan, he's got that Moneymaker look! it would be so so cool if he can follow in those foot steps. >>
If so, I see the following in the OP's collection:

I just want him to reach his dream.
He is at over a half million in chips at the end of level 13(or close to the end) and that puts him around 15th in chips with 950 players left.
Playing in the WSOP is has actually been a dream of mine since 1980ish when my Dad came back from Vegas with a Binions deck of cards and a story of the $1m in cash on display.
Was once chip leader with three left in a decent sized tourney. 3 pushed all in pre flop while I had AA. he was full of it with J7. Flop was 777... I cashed well, but needed therapy after that one.

<< <i>Nathan ... James is hanging tough. Still at about the same chip level (346,000) and now sitting in 68th place. They are on a 90 minute dinner break now. After dinner, two more levels to be played tonight. ~350 more people need to be eliminated and he is in the money.
GO GET 'EM JAMES! >>
He has oer 500K at the dinner break they just have not updated his stack all day but once.
These next few levels are really important.
<< <i>He has over 500K at the dinner break they just have not updated his stack all day but once. >>
WOW! That's awesome. So is in ~15 place at the break?????

Well, we are going by their chip counts and they are updating them and adding more players so it looks as though more like 25th.
At the beginning of the break 500K would have put you at 15th but as you can see they are updating stacks and have had ten more stacks added higher than 500k.

Good luck on the physical tomorrow. I've got a great idea, we can celebrate with the beers tomorrow night. This way I don't have to worry about getting up for work.

<< <i>This next 3-4 hours is the most interesting of the tournament. >>
Agreed. My brothe asked me to thank you or the support. It has meant a lot. He is around 275k in chips and has cashed.
I am in Cincy taking our twins to see Voto and the Reds take on the Cards.
If Jim does well my father and I fly to Vegas in the morning.
No matter where He finishes it has been so fun to watch him chase his dream.
You guys are class acts. I am on my iPhone and two shots of tequila in so this post may make no sense. Lol.

Great stuff. I may have to fly into Vegas to watch him as well!!!!
assuming they lose 100 people in the next couple of hours before play really settles down, the rest of this day will be huge for him. nice 10K payjump (from here) to close to 30 around person 450; gl!
