Tomorrow I will be playing in my first Main Event at the World Series. †I am very excited and prepared for a long, but exciting day. †I have been playing a lot of online poker the past few weeks with a few tournaments mixed in, but no cashes or interesting stories. †I wish that I had a few more results, but making an ESPN final table was a dream come true and hopefully I will get another shot soon to win my first bracelet. †

Something that I am very excited and proud about are a few articles where I was featured and mentioned. †Michael Kaplan wrote a great piece that features a few fellow online players in Cigar Aficionado. †It is a very interesting article about Tom “Durrr” Dwan, Alan “TheUsher” Sass, Luke Kim, and myself. †It is the issue with Kevin Costner on the cover. †It is pretty cool to be photographed and featured in a major magazine like this.

I am also mentioned in a New York Times article that can be seen here http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/29/fashion/29bets.html †It is another well written article by Michael Kaplan about prop bets. †My bathroom prop bet with Jay is discussed and a Pepsi vs. Coke challenge Luke and Nick did at my place was also mentioned. †I never thought I would †be written about in the New York Times, so thatís pretty cool. †

CardPlayer came by my condo a few weeks ago and filmed High Stakes Living. †It was released last Friday and can be seen at www.cardplayer.com. <http://www.cardplayer.com/tv> †††††

†I am going to rest up and will have live updates from Day 1c at the WSOP tomorrow.
