YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


Wow - too excited to think right now. Thanks to the people who railed and encouraged not only me, but the other tough bloggers at the final table.
I only suffered one big suckout and caught cards when I needed. The real trick, however, was ... Buddy Dank Radio. I was the only person putting in music requests for about the last two hours of the tournament. If you hated or loved the music -- yeah, it was me.
btw - I am the one who always requests The Candy Man. No reason -- I just did it.

You can thank me for your victory since I never showed up.

Just kidding. I know you've come pretty close during the BBT3 so this is certainly no fluke. Congrats man, well deserved.

Well played Lightning. You mixed it up well between aggression and trapping the last 2 tables and it made it very difficult and dangerous to put a read on you. Congrats and GL.

Congrats! Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! Glad I contributed in my small way by essentially handing you my chips! I was pulling for you after that.

Hope we cross paths on the 13th. I get in at 10:15am - any chance you're still in Vegas then?

I was disappointed to bubble the final table; would have liked the chance to match wits with you there.

Thanks for all the congrats. It means a lot to have them coming from players whom I respect so much. There are an awful lot of skilled players in the blogger community, and even better, a lot of quality people.

I hope to meet up with some of you Wednesday night at the Rio.

Cheers!

Wow, just got home tonight from Vega$, and find that you won the freeroll. That is soooo badass. I truly hope you play an event and not just take the $$$, because you've got talent and balls, and you NEED to be playing WSOP.

Major congratulations, I'm thrilled you were the winnah!
