The last 72 hours have been a whirlwind. What went from a sinus infection, to 102.5 fever turned into strep throat then myocarditis/pericarditis and the most painful chest pains I’ve had in my life. I’ve had EKG’s, catscans, MRI’s, more bloodwork drawn than I can count …

Championship. Let's keep the heater going!
They just announced that my flight is over weight and they need 10 people to take a midnight flight tonight for $2,000 each. The chatter on the plane is hilarious. Nice last minute win for some people leaning Vegas.
Downswing corrected, upswing initiated!! 📈🤑📈🤑🥈
After a 2+ hour heads up battle we finish in 2nd place for a new career high score!
Congrats Julian for winning an epic heads up battle and thanks

What should people be doing? Flying cross country from PA/MI/NJ to LA for a couple of days, flying home for a couple days then flying back cross country for the start of the WSOP? Timing/location doesn’t seem to make any sense and a slap in the face to many of the qualifiers
So close to ring

but i'll have to settle for $28k and 2nd place. Took a brutal 2 outer to lose, but ran pure the whole tournament.
Always fun to battle for the hardware.

Getting crushed online tonight. A lethal combo of not being in the right head space & running bad. My 5 year old daughter who’s learning to write writes me these 2 notes. Good reminder of what’s really important
Heading to the airport after another week in Vegas.
I was pretty disappointed after I busted the WPT championship yesterday. But after a day I realize this is back to back Vegas trips that I cashed a 10k and went home with more $$ in my pocket then when I got here. (1/2)
Been a great past few days on the online felt. 2 FT runs in massive field tourneys and a 3rd place in the 1k knockout on stars. Looking forward to the Wynn Millions soon.
Back home and no place I’d rather be.
Going to be rundown for a while but there will be no long term effects on my health.
Thanks to everyone for all the messages, an event like this really puts what is important in life into perspective.
Love y’all
41 left, $10,800 locked up playing for $400,000.
Lost a 1.1M chip pot with 20 min left AK < AA, but we’re still alive.
16BB and ready to battle tomorrow
This is just a slap in the face. Can’t really get a more inconvenient location and time, right before the WSOP starts. I'd love to know what people at the WSOP were thinking. Do you want people to chose the WSOPC in LA vs the start of the WSOP?!

Been on a bad downswing for the last month or so and today was no different. Got crushed in Scoop and tbh happy for it to be over & taking a break.
Gonna spend the next 6 weeks in the lab really studying and gearing up for the WSOP.

Not the biggest scores but nice to get a couple of W's tonight.
Also bagged a top 20 stack in the $200 PKO with 33 left. Hopefully can make a run tomorrow night.
Day 5 bag secured! 🔒
Boy was today a battle and not much went my way. Damn proud to still be alive going into day 5! The standings will say that at I’m short stacked but 18BB is heaps. Officially requesting my one time for tomorrow. LFG! 🔥🔥💪
Tried my best to forget about the Cowboys loss. Binked a seat to the

Man that was a fun 2 weeks at poker summer camp but it’s time to head back to reality.
Overall successful trip with a FT at the Wynn and day 5 for the main event. The ME run was the most fun I’ve had in a while.
Can’t wait to come back again next year!
Lost heads up in tonight’s WSOPC event. AJ < A6 for 75% of the chips. This one sure hurts.
Time to get some sleep and regroup for a big Sunday tomorrow.
P.S.

can we not have tournaments finish up at 4am

@WSOPcom
why'd you have to ruin my favorite tournament of the week. Bring back the $500 Thursday with only 85 min of late reg and 5,000 chips to start.
Our first flight into our $200K GTD Ultra Rush starts tomorrow at 11:15AM. 40K starting stack with 40/50 minute Levels. Reg is open until the start of Day 2.

Gl to everyone playing in the TOC today. Sad to miss it, had a blast playing it in it the past. But no shot of flying out to LA just to play in 1 tournament.
Hopefully they bring it back to Vegas next year or at least a better time of the year if it stays at the commerce.
This is why
@MikeHoltzPoker
is the 🐐. Cheers to 100's of more battles together.
Worth the watch for anyone that plays online. The talk about imposter syndrome was spot on...Session by session I still don't know if i'm good or not, all I know to do is keep battling
Hell of a day at the Ryder cup. The atmosphere was unreal, def a bucket list experience if you’ve never had the chance.
Now let’s go out and make a historic comeback tomorrow!
After the longest hand for hand ever (49 hands) we secured the double bag. Back to Rivers tomorrow ITM for day 2 of the $560 150k. Coming back to 1.5k/2.5k
Going to be in the hospital for a little while as they still have more tests to be done. My spirts are high and just happy to get to the bottom of what happened.
Cherish today with your family and give those loved ones around you an extra hug.
January 7th will always be the worst day of the year for me. Its been 3 years since my brother and best friend left us.
Cherish your family and friends and reach out to them often. Sometimes it’s the happiest looking people that are in the most pain.
Miss you and love you bro
