Not a bad showing for 1473 players...

Had a good time playing in the Inaugural Pokerstars Blogger Championship. 1473 Players were entered.

After fighting and clawing through that massive field, my run came to an end as I busted in 284th Place. Of course I got rivered. I'll post the hand and let you read for yourself.

Anyway, it was a pleasure to be a part of that event. Somehow, I ended up at the tabel with one of my fellow RGP'er, XaQMorphy. He played very well also and made it to the point where you get a hat and shirt. lol. Also got to see another fellow RGP'er make it to the iPod level. Tuscaloosa John. Good Job fellas.

Oh, here's my final hand.

Big Syd aka KappaMan
