There's even a heading 'Chip Counts from the Silver Section' and he's not in that. What comes when you're too old for silver?

Lol, thanks lads, especially for those rubs.

As to Keith's comment......in the treble up hand, the board came paired fours. Odd guy pushed forward his three deuces and claimed the pot - " I have a full house". He even attempted to pull the pot in! He left the table countering away shocking, then Frenchie threw a strop at some guy who was giving it large.

Apparently there are officially 442 left, average is 9,957.

For purposes of chirp, Chiptic list me as joint 52nd, with Julian Gardner, we each have 16,700. Even took a photo of that.

I noticed  a "James Bord" on the chip counts, too.

Blinds 200-400.

The thread hero is still grinding, unfortunately I am not.

I had to let the blinds go through, and had 2100 chips at 200/400 and    on the button and 1 limper.  I pot it for 1800 and the limper repots his  x.  Ho hum.

5 all ins, only once behind, and lose to 4 scoops and chop one when I get it all in on the turn, with the nut low, nut flush draw and the overpair vs 1 lower pair and the 2nd nut low.  He hits his second pair for the chop. 

It was a great tourney, so many soft spots, lots of limping and lots of table banter and no 5 minute dwell folds.  Such a refreshing change from the hold em tourneys.  I must play this again, unfortunately it won't be until next year.

The thread hero must have a great chance.

Go Tikay.

lol think the damage is done already. Quick question - If you won a bracelet, would you wear it on TV or would you place it on the table infront of you ala Smurfit stylee??
