I'll go back through the hand reports but I feel like this was his M.O. for getting to the N9 in the first place.

Edit: yes, I am remembering this wrong. He had a big four-way all-in when the field still had about 13 tables then was off to the races. By Day 6 and 7, he chipped up as one would expect for a big stack.

Doubt it. He's been crushing online for years, and plays PLO as his primary game. He's used to the pressure.

Do they not realize that if he was staked then he isn't a millionaire yet?

Papas says **** this ****, I'm just trying to get paid. Smart strategy when you are by far the worst player at the table imo. (no offense to Papas, but it's obv true)

I hope he hits some run good and ends up top 3.

Even if he loses the A3 v JJ hand he's still top 2..At this point he can get coolered by anyone except Tonking and still be in the top 3. Has to be a lock for him at least getting HU

I thought Sindelar played really well, just brutal timing in every key spot.

Based on some of the play we have seen I'm not sure that is necessarily obviously true.

Tonking's checking motion is mildly annoying

The RGG people are pretty cool. They've been putting together tournaments here in the Midwest.
