    Jim went out in 141st place and won $52,718. I want to thank you all for spending time reading my posts about it. I get excited when I see people chase their dreams and do so well. My father and I are very proud of him. Dad taught us to play cards at a very early age and Jim is very good at it. Thanks again for following.


    I shared this with my Facebook friends(lots of people we grew up with etc.), close friends and this message board and you on the PSA message boards(strangers to him) really gave him the most support.


    There are no words for sharing it with me and letting me post about it.


    Hope I can repay the favor down the road.

    Great job! I have to admit I went on the website 3 or 4 times to scroll down the list looking for his name. Nice little payday as well.
  • TJMACTJMAC Posts: 864 ✭✭
    Over 52K for 141st place. That is awesome. I can't believe there are so many good payouts in these tournaments. Contracts to your brother!

    How many chips did he have when he started the hand in which he went "ALL IN"?

    Congrats to your brother!! I hope he saves $10k of the winnings and uses it for next year's tourney! image
  • Just a heads up that the 2012 WSOP is currently on ESPN. Maybe we can catch a hand or two by Jim.

    He was already on in the bubble hand in the first hour. He was on TV during that hand.
