I finished 23rd in the WPT Invitational at Commerce last night, when I open-pushed from the button with pocket tens, and ran into pocket aces. D’oh! Kind of a bummer, but I’m happy with my decision. I only had 10 rounds left in my stack, and I was willing to push with any ace or pair there. A pair of tens was a monster, as far as I was concerned.
But I outlasted all the other celebrity players (don’t tell them that I’m not a celebrity anymore, okay?) and won $10000 for the City of Hope in Duarte, which was really cool.
And I got my picture taken with Amanda, who touched my monkey for luck, which was also really cool.
So when are we heading down there for a blogging.la homegame?
That would be the greatest thing ever
will they let me play if i only have 7 nickels?
You know I’ll be there for a game, if I’m in town. Let’s do it!
I think that’s a capital idea even though I have no idea what you mean by “I open-pushed from the button with pocket tens, and ran into pocket aces.”

Congrats on your WPT standings and especially your earnings for the City of Hope, an charitable organization that works true miracles every day.
