I just like going on sick runs like turning 300 bucks into 20k in 24 hours (don't ask about the next 24 hours) or turning 1k into 50k in a few days.

Also when the 5/10 opened on party I had 10k-15k stacks a couple of times (I hardly ever see anyone with 10k stack at 5/10 anymore)

Actually that is true, I can't remember seeing a 10 buy-in stack for ages.

Not my finest moment, still fun though:

October 2005 i was playing in the EPT event in Baden. I played a few big live events before, but never got close to the final table. In Baden everything was going well though and before i knew it i survived day 3 and was on to the televised final table! Obviously i was really psyched to play the final table. Day three ended pretty late, so after a beer or two i tried to get some sleep. When i woke up there was only one thing on my mind... TELEVISED FINAL TABLE SHIP IT. I was chipleader by the way and as soon as i got there we had to do some interview stuff and stars started talking to me about some sponsoring. I didn't have time at all that day to sit down and chill down a bit because of all the stuff going on pre play. Before i knew it they were hooking us up with mics and the play started.

I expected to be really nervous, but to be honest I was quite relaxed. Or at least I thought... After about half an hour of play i realized what i had forgot to do because of all the hassle before the final table. I forgot to take my morning dump!! At first i thought i could make it until the brake, but it started to really distract me and i was folding more than usual. After some uncomfortable squirming in my chair I decided that it would be better to miss a hand or three than to not feel comfortable so i went for it. The toilet was pretty far so i sorta started running (with the crowd wondering what the [censored] was going on obviously). I ran into the toilet and after some very loud farting (you know those nasty "I SHOULD'VE GONE EARLIER" farts) I dumped a good one and felt a lot better...

...until I noticed i forgot to take of my Microphone!!


I finished up third and Patrick Antonius took first. Stars sponsored me for one event and never offered me anything after that anymore [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I was playing a small buy in tourney with some family members, and at the start Mena Suvari was seated to my right. I didn't even recognize her, I just knew she was hot so I talked to her the whole time. She busted out pretty quickly unfortunately.

Later in the tournament, I'm in a heads up pot with my sister and bluff her out. After the tournament I tell her it was a bluff and she gets very mad at me, which made me just laugh in her face while she's yelling at me. I'm smiling now just thinking about it.
