We have 15 of top 100 for the month. Remember Top 100 get a WSOP freeroll for 2 WSOP seats at month's end. Last month #100 had 2941 TLB points.

[dmk]

i'm @ 1988pts atm, but i'm at a FT right now, so hopefully i can jump up a bit

[TheNewf]

Meh I'm lame and didn't get in this challenge but I'm about to pass Caldarooni for 11th.

[Jurollo]

The more than merrier. Body Man D is in the top 100 too so we will be well represented in the May freeroll.
~Justin

[dmk]

that win i just got should put me around 2300pts, top100 i think

[Jurollo]

Yesterday wasnt a bad day for this contest, 3 wins of fields of 406, 626 and 1119 and Superfluous man is deep in the 55k.
~Justin

[bonds25]

I should be top 100 by end of the month, im just off the list at 2000 pts or so.

Keep plugging too guys, keep in my by month's end you are probably looking at 2900+ to get top 100.

[Marwan]

Haven't played at all this week, started it back up tonight and doing alright in the $3 freezeout that started at 2:30.. 25/28 after losing a big coin flip 88 <AJ for most of my chips.

[Marwan]

The latter part of tournaments hates me.

[bonds25]

Tough break dude.

[Mi_T_Sharp]

Faulty rankings. I am 16th. Just to clarify.

My goal for the month is to beat Jhizzle.

[bestcellar]

I only have about 1500 TLB for the month. Hopefully I'll find a way to get close.

[dmk]

71. dmkay 2441.53

[dmk]

also of signifcant note, weekly tlb:

3. rizen
9. dmkay

team teh awesome making a run for it

also, 10. wpthero

[Jurollo]

Just as a quick update for everyone:
Team Canada, which only received 8 points in the Cat A category last week is up to around 3350 in Cat A now due to Foucault's 3rd earlier this week, stevepa's PLO8 win and my $10 win. 1st place last week was 2800 or so. So we have sailed past that. Also we are up to 7043 in the top 25 overall, 2nd place as of week 2 was 4667... so keep playing folks, keep in mind 2nd DOES pay.

Justin,

Does this mean you are done crying over how tough variance can be?

If it wasn't for variance, Team Canada would be in last place.

For 2 days. Then I start again. That is all.
~Justin

[dmk]

i'm hoping i have a 10-day period where i worship the gods of variance...sometime between july 28-aug 9 would do just fine

[Jurollo]

P.S.

And I'm on tonight
You know my chips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection

Dmk will naturally find this funnier than most... but it is a fun song to sing on the rail when someone is at a FT.

very slow day today...huge DR test tomorrow, so no one is doing anything

Dammit I'm still 1 point behind Calda. Winning the million on Sunday should fix that.

Well you did call it first... But we will chop when I have a huge chip lead so I'll still make more $$. I guess you can have the TLB points, though I am supposed to be sabotaging people for Team Canada.

[dmk]

[censored] that. i play for keeps son. no deals unless its winner take all. justin can attest to that

[bestcellar]

Made a pretty moronic call all in with just a gutshot straight draw for high and nut low draw. Oh well, at least I still know how to blow a bankroll.

[Pat Southern]

If anybody busts mckguinness out of the 5PM $10r I will transfer them $20.

Lawson. You absolutely rule man. Very nice job.

I am 18/83 in the Stuper. Wish me luck!

[Mi_T_Sharp]

Well, I busted out of the Stuper ITM in 41st in a Blind on Blind situation. I had a pretty tight image I beleive. But, I am chip leader in the 55 that started at 10.

[Mi_T_Sharp]

OK. So, now I'm out of the 55. I lost a race 88 &lt;&lt; AQ and then ran into slowplayed set of Kings when I had KJ on a 2K3x board. Anyway, whether or not it's my bad or not is debatable, but I'm now 16/45 in the 10+1 725 runner that started at 11:05. Maybe I'll do better coming from the middle of the pack this time.

Edit: Am I the only loser that is playing on Friday night or what?
