Default Brag: Win Darfur charity tournament

Brag: I won this





details

It's a poker table cover signed by all the castmates of Oceans 13. The PokerStars tournament had 254 entrants and was a $11rebuy. Win or go home, baby! Charity was cool, but I just wanted this pokertable, obviously.

Over the course of the tournament, in the tournament lobby they only allocated one prize, the entire prizepool to first. I was never sure if first actually got money, or if that money was for charity. I mean, charity tournament, obviously, but it also says in the lobby that stars matches the prizepool for donation.

Extreme beat: After winning, I see 7.1k added to my account and start freaking out. I tell all my room-mates what insanity occured. On cloud nine, I walk back to my computer 5 minutes later to show to a friend the 7.1k added to my account. I click the cashier, and it's gone. My penalty for being misinformed is the false assumptions of a gained $7.1k. As such, I am sad.

Brag: I feel better because that money is going to a real life Starvin Marvin.

Brag: I WON A POKER TABLE SIGNED BY GEORGE CLOONEY. AHAHA SHIP IT.

This poker table possibly could be worth more than 7.1k
