2nd in 200r, 4th in 100r
- Phil Collins | September 9, 2008
Just want to put up a quick update for you guys…
I ended up getting backed for the 10k WCOOP but after throwing up twice that morning from a terrible hangover, I played terrible and busted quickly. I then busted the $3mil WCOOP in 15 minutes and the $1k 2nd chance in 15 minutes.
Fornutately, I got some water and food and stayed composed for the rest of the day. I took a viscious beat in deep in the 2nd 100r AK to AQ to have a top 5 stack with 30 left and busted 25th, but ran hot deep in the 200r to get on a stack of about 300k and cruised the rest of the way to heads up with a 1.4mil stack. I chipped my opponent (KoolKeith) down to 440kish when i had 1.6mil and then lost A9 to 88 and AJ to 55 to take 2nd for 38k. It was the 2nd sunday in a row where I ran pretty bad heads up to leave a lot of money on the table, but I definately liked the $38k part of it! 
Today I woke up, pissed some excellence, and took 4th in the 100r for another $12k. I had to give Brent some of my profit from the 200r win since we had swapped 15%, but after buy-ins (excluding the 10k) I managed to have a nice $42k upswing in 2 days!
I’ll be playing the $500 NL event at Borgata tomorrow morning, and heading back to SC on Thursday. Its definately been a ton of fun being in A.C. with my Vegas friends and I feel like I’ve sort of “recharged” my poker batteries.
Really looking forward to making some noise in the live poker scene in October at Bellagio…
OK, time for bed, hopefully I’ll wake up for the $25/50 level tomorrow, I’ve missed 3 in a row!
Phil

Hey Phil,
I was hoping to talk to you regarding a business oppertunity you may be interested in. I own a young, hip, and trendy poker clothing company and am trying hard to be THE brand for the young online poker crowd. We are looking to joint forces with the best of the best and your name is obviously on that list. Please get back to me if you are interested and we could talk about a few options we are looking to extend to you.
Thanks for your time, and as always,
Create your Own Luck,
Mike
