Dallas\’ Last Man Standing

LAS VEGAS–Am left wondering if I shoulda made a side-bet with Mike & Tom on Dallas vs. Ireland. (Actually, I probably coulda wrapped all of Texas into it, too.)

Matt Wilson is 7th in chips right now, with $1.2 million. Alas, I can\’t tell you who\’s at his table, but be sure to click on the little graph that shows the escalation of his stack size. It suggests he\’s playing well … using his comfortable stack judiciously to continue his slow climb. That\’s probably the right thing to do (anyone disagree?) as there\’s still a lot of poker to be played, and he can afford to play it pretty much on his own terms right now.

UPDATE: Ouch, not sure what went awry … bad beat or bad play … but Matt Wilson is out. 112th place. $51,129.
