    Hey Nathan,

    Are you going to give us Reds updates as well tonight? image

    Roughly 30 BBs to start day 5.......he can do this!

    What's the most interesting thing he has told you during his run through the tourney? Splashing the pot with a household name, perhaps?

    The absolute BOL to him today...

    you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet

    He has got to sit next to J. Chan in the past and we loved that because we liked Rounders so much and we followed Johnny.


    However, he has been total business. He has not really talked to me yet about the other stuff. He is giving me chip counts and hand replays but not any wild stories yet.


    I have seen some pretty sick beats on the updates.


    Thanks for the support from you all. He really appreciates it.

    My big question when this is all over is through 4 days, how many big pot coin flip situations did he get involved in and win to survive this long. To survive this long in this particular tournament, you either need to get hit in the face with the deck or win big races. Curious how many he's won.

    This is pretty neat. I'm trying to work, but find that I'm looking at the updates regularly. He's outlasted most of the popular pros, so that's something to hang his hat on for sure (besides the nice payout).

    He has made it to the next pay level. He is at the ESPN featured secondary table.

    He should get some TV time when it airs.

    Awesome! Good luck to him.

    Hopefully he'll get some kind of sponsorship deal being at a featured table (not sure about secondary featured tables, but the main featured table players typically get patch deals around $5-10K. Of course, that was pre-black Friday.)

    No, my brother and I decided last night around 3am with only 350k in chips he might be out real early today so we didnt want to spend 1200.00 per ticket on two tickets.

    If somehow he gets hot and makes it through to tomorrow with a decent stack we will fly out in the AM.

  • the way he's not playing very much is very smart that's how you get far in big turnaments
    that's why i said a had a feeling he would make it to the top 99 and after that hand i'm pretty sure now
    if he gets there you'll see him turn it on then, GO JIM!!!

    "More than doubled up on a hand.

    huge, moves up to 120ish, but more importantly allows more activity than just raising and and reraising and shoving
  • DboneesqDboneesq Posts: 18,219 ✭✭
    Under "UPDATES" it shows he has 654,000.00. GO JIM.

    EDITED TO ADD: Chip Count page has been updated, showing the 654,000 and in 121st place.

    They are down to less than 160 people left and he has reached the $52,718 payout.

    He can't text much due to being on some secondary TV table and they will not let you text.
