What a grind! 11 hours - and no big hands. Just small pots - always staying around average chip count - picking some good spots. Did not see that many flops - and when I did I could not hit the broad side of a barn. So grind grind grind.
Down to 12! YAY!!! Top 6 get money. I am very happy with my play. Have kept any mistakes to a minimum.
We have a magnificent room to play in. Windows surround us looking out to the ocean. The room is full of natural light which is so odd for us - we're not used to natural light in poker rooms. But no one has burst into flames so we're good.
There still remains 4 of us from Calgary in the game and we have quite a few fans. I was all in only once - A6 suited against KQ off - won the hand and then had all these cheers. When an all in occurs play stops, the tournament director announces the play and then calls for the remaining cards. Sportsnet is here filming so it is all for them.
I will be interviewed tomorrow at 11:30 a.m.. I imagine they are interviewing all the remaining players. There are at least 2 women left - maybe 3 but I am not sure.
Well all for now... going to try and relax and get some sleep. Cards are in the air at 1:00 pm Atlantic time.

Wow - you are rolling! Must be all that free Kenny Rogers advice I passed out...
