read 'em and weep

Unfortunately, the first August post comes late in the month, as things have been rather hectic the past couple of weeks. After winning several weeks ago in the Monday night game, I had a couple of tough exits, placing out of the points for two weeks in a row. One time, Chip also placed outside of the points, which was good for me, but a week ago, he won it (bastard!). Last night though, I rallied and took one down after playing Chip heads-up for over an hour.

In fact, all told, the tournament lasted about nine hours, which is pretty grueling since the rebuy period ended 2 hours 15 minutes into the game. I'd say that the three-handed and heads-up portion of the game took up about that much time when put together. All in all, though, I was totally satisfied. The prize pool was decent considering there had been about eight or so total rebuys from the players in the game (not bad, that's almost one per person). This, plus hitting my must-win bet with Dale again, padded my win nicely.

Currently, the points break down like this:

Me - 158 pts.
Chip - 125 pts.
Lee - 121 pts.
Chris - 120 pts.
Marc - 107 pts.
Jake - 92 pts.
Eric - 83 pts.
Dale - 82 pts.
Andrew - 66 pts.
Lori - 62 pts.
