Nice job on ITM Zach. Keep it going!

He's in the money too. Sweet!

Currently at table 285.

Target is Joosebucks 11 K finish, the current CC record.

AWESOME!! Keep it up Zach. I am watching and rooting for you!!!

Good luck brother.

Good job Zach. I am not chatting much but I have been there railing for a while.

Gl Zach, keep it up.

Zach you and I both knew a deep run was coming for you, funny how we bounced around that yesterday. Keep it running man, this is destiny.

Moved again. Table 100.

damn I raise 2.5x bb and get shoved over the top of. Came so close to calling with TT figuring for AK, and knowing the double up in chips for a coin flip was +$ev with the steep payout structure, but decided not to just because he could easily have KK or something. He ended up with AJ and the tens would have held, but again, results oriented thinking, pretty sure that was still a good fold.

Came so close to shoving this river (before his bet obviously):

Real tough hand zach where you laid down to that value bet.

ok now it's time for a hand to shove. One double up should get me at least to the next level.

I'm watching ... good luck man.

only another 200 to the next cash level.

And Q4o takes down the blinds.

nice push, K's or Q's ?

K8h lol. Can't believe he folded that, getting odds pretty much with ATC.

100 left to the next cash level (prize is $567 for finishing 559-648).

Yep, I'm pretty much in monster-only mode now. Not horribly shortstacked and can fold to the next money level.

Pokerstars is sooooo smart!!! They make it a 2mil g and they get about twice the people to sign-up/2x the avg. rake they bring in.

There is no overlay unless they don't get enough to sign-up. They only needed 10K sign-ups to cover the 2mil. Only about 3K more than the usual. With the wsop going on it was a great time to do this.

$15 X 14K = $210,000 for hosting the event on virtual poker tables not too bad huh. That is more than 2nd place gets.

I'll do all the work if someone wants to put up the money to start on online poker room. I'll only take 20% for doing all the work!!!
