Our favorite Donkey Bomber is back in Vegas … trying to score some bank at the Venetian\’s NPL Vegas Open. He did OK in his first go — making another final table and finishing 3rd. It was a $2,500 NLH event, with 61 players. According to Tom via text:
6:40 pm: Down to 3 medium stak
7:59 pm: Out3rd qq vs a5 4 a lot of money
Kathy Liebert would go on to win this event, and the $55k first prize. Still, not a bad warm-up for the main event, which starts this coming Monday. It\’s a $15,000 buy-in and should be a doozy.
Tom is making his desperate last-ditch effort to win CardPlayer\’s Player of the Year, where he currently is ranked 6th. Though he has not been mathematically eliminated from contention, he basically needs to kick major ass while relying on Bill Edler, JC Tran, David Pham to seriously falter.
