I just wanna kiss you...

As I sat down for the evening's poker playing adventures after putting in a solid shift at el gato (6 tubos, several red bull beverages, many curse words), I had no idea what was about to happen to me. A possible life changing experience if you will.

It probably wasn't until the first break in the tournament that I realized exactly how much the buy in was for (80 bucks holy shit) that I realized I better fuckin win this thing. Grinding it out, and pulling out two nut straights against some exposed small stacks, grew my stack to first out of the remaining 11. A mini-meltdown on my part knocked me back to 5th and I saw all my hopes and dreams come crashing down...Until I get doubled up by a cocky big stack at the table (he'd been at my table for the entire tourney and got a big stack right off the bat, but didn't even cash so :P). The light at the end of the tunnel seemed to be getting closer and closer...Then boom. One of the two other chip leaders(3 people actually "won" the tourney) knocked out the remaining two players, advancing myself, and the other two jokers into Sunday July 6th's 615+35 dollar buy in tournament...and for every 11 g's in the pot a person get's to go to the Main Event of the World Series of Poker out in Vegas at the end of the month! Right now there is only one spot, but they have super satellites running every day, all day, all week, so it should probably be around 100 entrants I'd imagine by the time Sunday comes around. 100 entrants, at 650 bucks a shot, 65,000. So that means 5 lucky contestants get to go to Vegas and represent Pokerstars at the Main Event.

Personally, I have severely awful alterior motives for getting to the WSOP on pokerstars dime...I'd like nothing more than to get on ESPN's featured table, get smashed and get berated by Norman Chad for being a stupid youngster. And hanging with Jennifer Tilly wouldn't be bad either, niiiiiiice.
