Absinthe took down first place at Event 1 of the LA Poker Classic. Look for details at his blog, CardPlayer, and Poker Pages. He’s a machine. He’s my hero.

It’s 1:20AM, and Absinthe is into his 10th hour of poker at the first event of the LA Poker Classic. So far he’s managed to outlast 1102 people. Better still, he’s been live-blogging the tourney. 2 more spots until the money. I can’t sleep.

Good luck to Absinthe and Change100 at the $330 NLHE today. Make us proud.
