Let's hope they keep this structure I bet they captured a few great hands from this FT. And it still ended pretty quick.

Bel0w looked like he was going to go down old-Mikey style, props to him for holding it together and getting HU with a massive lead after the horrid start.
Looks like Mikey played pretty flawlessly too, I was hoping he'd keep his cool and pick up at least 2nd.
Shaniac's due to take down a big one soon, stay focused and it'll be sick as when it comes man.

GG all.

Shane Schleger: definitely Phil Gordon-esque in mannerisms and general mouth positioning, and I'm sure Shane himself has even heard this comparison made in the past. Anyone saying otherwise is either a friend who construes this as an insult, or has never actually seen Phil Gordon before.

I'm one of the few folks who actually like Phil, but he comes off as arrogant. Shane comes off as cool, mellow, & confident, or coolfident as I like to say. Seems like nothing bothers him, and he's not trying to show that he's better than you. He just can't help it that he is

Shane's winning his next big FT. I'm willing to put cash down on it.

Oh, and BTW, that reporter wanted him bad. I hope Shane didn't break her heart too bad...

Yo!

Thanks everybody, I didn't have a computer around me for the entirety of this tournament (perhaps being seperated from the internet worked to my benefit?), so I didn't have a chance to chime in or update any blogs. Feels so [censored] good to be back home and I'm gonna try to chill out and write for a little while.

Fwiw, I do try not to suck during interviews, but a few things to keep in mind: They grabbed me for this as I was on the way out the door, trying to get to my room for break, so it was completely impromptu. Also, I still haven't figured out how to make a poker hand sound interesting without getting bogged down in details, and I don't really have an opinion on "15 minute breaks" or other mundane details of the tournament. If, for instance, she had asked me about the dude who wanted to kill me and David Oppenheim with 3 or 4 tables left, it might have made for a better talk. Also, fwiw, I didn't detect anything more than generic friendliness from Kimberly, but she's definitely an attractive woman, and I'm flattered that you all thought she wanted me.

Also, congrats to Kevin. He played his heart out and earned the win. All in all, a decent experience.
