Pat Poels went out yesterday. And TBR, relying on the scurrilous poker media\’s \”reporting\” that I am a cooler and getting antsy about making the money today, requested, \”Don\’t come anywhere near my table today.\”
So fine. I didn\’t. And in returning the favor, The Big Randy gave me confirmation that people who are superstitious are measurably less likely to win the main event. He had one guy to be really careful of today, sitting to his left, and on the third hand he got it all-in on a race … and lost … QQ < AK.
OK, I swear I feel bad. But this really is what today\'s all about -- the crushing of hopes and dreams.
And unless Team Pokerati can sneak up on some remaining big stacks to slap a patch on them -- which I\'m pretty sure is near impossible with all the Poker Royalty agents circling healthy-chipped unknowns -- that means it\'s up to Tom \"1-for-20\" Schneider to survive past the bubble, go really deep to re-save the family farm his 2009 WSOP, and hopefully make a final table for my personal branding benefit.
Go @DonkeyBomber!
UPDATE: What I meant to say was good game, Randy. You played very well and gave it a valiant effort. Sometimes you just get unlucky. Better luck next year. You always have our encouragement and support. lol.
