it's coming, trust me. and again, thanks everyone for your compliments, it was really fun to write.

The problem is (unfortunately) I didn't win quite enough to think about dropping out of this whole "law" thing and playing full time in big tourneys, which would have given me time to write whenever I wanted. Work has been extremely busy lately but I take what time I have (when I'm not playing poker) to try to piece together my memories and get some stuff written down.

Also, for some reason Day 1 seemed to come back to me much more clearly than Day 2 at first. Probably because Day 2 just seemed like such a crazy rush I didnt take time to commit each big hand to memory...

but rest assured there was still a ton to write about and it should be up in a day or two.

ALSO: there are some funny pictures up in the WSOP photo galleries that go right along with some of the early hands from my Day 1 report.

If you go to this link, on page 1 of the gallery you can see me mucking my QhJh hand with about 600 left in my stack. (I'm in the black shirt with goatee, the guy who won this hand is the older asian guy in pics right before me).

On page 2 you can see the hand I was all-in with Ks10x (with the same asian guy) and looking disgustingly at the Ah turn card (right before the miracle river).

In the next gallery there are some good picks of Chan and Hellmuth who were 1 table over.

There should be more pics posted tomorrow of Day 2 and the final table.

here is one of me and Danneman towards the bubble during Day 1...(I'm much happier at this point)
