Like all thunder valley tournaments, it was too slow early and too fast late with a bad payout structure. Other than that, it was great!

We will be getting together when people get back from the main.

Down to 68 in Main and Sacramento is well represented. Actually more players from Nor Cal (5) than LV (4). Does anyone know if any of these players won their seat at Thunder?!

Steve Gee is clearly a good player, I think the consensus is that he lucked his way to the FT last year. But a bracelet in a 1k nlhe in 2010, last years 9th and now another deep run in main and he's guaranteed $285,408.
He has made it known that he has been haunted by his 9th place finish after coming in 5th in chips last year because he made a big mistake not considering the money jumps enough.

If JC plays locally, it's at the Cap, but he plays rarely at most, and only if they have a big game. Either way, it's great that a local is doing well in the ME and I hope he goes on to win it.

As far as CR moving, I'd bet it happens in the next week, I believe they are only waiting on last minute city approval, but what would I know.
