As you can tell by my title, I got 4th in the 25k buyin WPT Championship for about 570k. Pretty amazing experience and my biggest score by far. Obviously I'm a little disappointed about getting 4th, but what can you do. I went to the TV final table second in chips and couldn't get much of anything going under the lights. The eventual winner (Atimos aka Yevgeniy Timoshenko) deserved to win. I played too tight at the final table and let him run me over a little bit. Hopefully I can get another shot at a big final table soon, as I was a little intimated by the "lights." I have been too other big Final Tables before, but the WPT is a whole different animal. The table is very awkward and I had to physically lift my cards to get them to where the cameras were instead of naturally just sliding them back. It was a great experience for me though and overall I thought I played really well from day 1-6.

I'm in Annapolis (Home!) until the wsop starts. I'm happy to have some time to relax and stuff, I need to do a lot of shit, because I'm moving and am way behind on my pokersavvy videos! Ok until next time…
