Spewing money $60 at a time

I’ve got a little time to spare, chillin in the Ball Room where the MSPT qualifiers and the Main Event will be held. Currently Event #4 of the Grand Series is taking place a couple tables away, 17 players remaining. There is also a $60 single table satellite to the MSPT $250 qualifier going on to my right.

I’ve struggled all week and have dished off $60 after $60 in satellites and am 0-2 in qualifiers. Fortunately, PMac has been running hot and has won a few $250 seats. He has a Main Event seat from last weekend as well. I’m still searching for mine. Since these $250 seats are transferable I’ll be playing on one or two of his tomorrow trying to get my seat.

That’s ok though, I ran terrible all week in the Canterbury Tour Launch as well. I was playing well and am now, just getting unlucky. I’m getting in with the best of it every time but its not holding up. I don’t plan on changing a thing. As I said, I ran cold all week at Canterbury and heated up big time in the Main Event. I hit set over set twice and worked my way to chip leader heading into Day 2. I’m hoping for the same result this week. Its more important to run hot on Sunday!

If things don’t go well tomorrow, I’ll just buy-in. There’s no way I won’t play in this event. The structure is too good to miss!

Its funny, I’ve played in almost everything this week while here. The people have been awesome and I’ve been making a ton of new friends at the tables. The one question I’ve gotten a few times is, “Oh, you play in your own event?”

Hell yeah! As a huge poker rube do you think I would build the best structure in the state and sit on the sidelines? No chance!

My work is done when the event begins, that’s when the tournament staff at Grand Casino Mille Lacs (or whatever location) takes over. And they are doing a fantastic job here this week.

So, I’m pumped for the Main Event to begin! See you on the felt!
