Although I haven’t played many events this summer, I brought my A game
for every single one. Most of the time, I’ve known exactly which two
cards I’ve been up against. I feel great about tomorrow. I’m focused,
confident and extremely excited about poker. All that said, there’s one
more thing I know I’ll need: Lady Luck. No Main Event contender will go
far without her.

So dear lovely, sweet, awesome, Lady Luck,

This is Paul. You’ve been very good to me in the past and I’d really
like for us to get back together. We make a good pair. I need you by my
side.

You remember how the two of us cruised through the 06 Main Event? You
looking all sexy and me looking like the degenerate that I am? Well
that dirty man is back. You might recognize me tomorrow. I’ll be
wearing that huge ugly plaid shirt that I wore for three days straight
in 06. I’ll also be wearing my lucky boxers.

I’ll be at the Rio tomorrow, baby. Meet me there?
