You were probably there, or you’ve read it on someone else’s blog, but here it is again anyway:
I won the blogger tourney.
I’m going to hold off on the full report until later, but I wanted to take the time to acknowledge some people here who made this all possible.
Bill Rini. He did a stellar job organizing the entire event, and we should all thank him for stepping up and undertaking this task. All I had to do was show up.
Bob Cohen and the Imperial Palace. They get a big hand for welcoming the WPBT with open arms and giving poker bloggers the recognition they deserve for promoting the game. Any of you who are still there, give ‘em some play.
Otis, Wil Wheaton, and the rest of the PokerStars crew. Stars kicked in another 2k into the prize pool and brought prizes and swag galore. Their continued support for players and bloggers puts them in position to knock PartyPoker off its perch as top poker site.
Hdouble. For reminding me that Q7 was the favorite. K7 seemed like it might do just as well.
All the bloggers. Friendliest bunch of random people I ever met on the Internet. Thanks for all your kind words and giving me some tough decisions to make during the game. Again, I’m sorry for sucking out on you. You rock.
