Considering all the "great" players you outlasted, (including a number of former World Champions amid such a large field), I would say you, SGTRJ, and JamieAnn did great. Wilbur and Collin should both be very proud of you! Also, I'm sure you have taken lessons and insights from this experience which will serve you well next year.
As for the remaining field, Vanessa Selbst and Gaelle Baumann are both still in the running with very healthy stacks. From some of the comments I've been reading about Vanessa over in the NVG thread, (mostly from male players who are scared to death of Vanessa), it looks like both Vanessa and Gaelle have a real chance of making it all the way to the final table. (Would it be an exxageration to characterize Vanessa Selbst as the female equivalent of Stu Ungar? She does seem to have that knack for striking fear into her opponents.)
Who knows, this just might be the year ... It will be one of the greatest sagas in sports if Vanessa or Gaelle wind up shipping this tournament. It will be right up there with Billie Jean King conquering Bobby Riggs at the Astrodome in 1973. If Vanessa or Gaelle win it, ESPN will probably replay the FT more times than they replay the One Drop. You gotta believe!
