Default Brag - won WSOP seat for $16

I'm f'in exhausted, just finished the $650 buyin satellite to the WSOP on Stars, took 8 hours. I won the seat to this sat. yesterday by winning a $16 Double Shootout tourny, and after 8 hours of grinding today, finished in the top 63 players to win the $11,000 WSOP package...

Brag - by far the biggest single day score of my poker life.

Beat - will be cashing out the cash to help pay for my upcoming wedding, instead of playing the Main Event. I wouldn't be able to take the time off of work anyway...

Brag - my fiancee is way smart, sexy, and hot, and has been laughing for the last 30 minutes since I won. Awesome sexaments in my immediate future...

Variance - I only sucked out once - ATs > AK, every other time I went all in I won as a favorite, or the opposition folded. Yay resteals!

Here's the Stars email:

Dear XXXX,

Dear PokerStars player:

Congratulations on winning a WSOP* satellite! You're now poised to
follow in the footsteps of Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer, and Joe Hachem,
and become a member of Team PokerStars wearing a championship bracelet.


Please read this email very carefully as it contains important
information concerning the registration process for the Main Event.

1. Please immediately review our World Series terms and conditions at:

http://www.pokerstars.com/wsop/terms/

These rules will apply to you and you need to understand them.

2. Buy-in: Despite our best efforts, we were unable to work out an
arrangement with Harrah's to register you directly for the event, so we are
no longer able to deal with the buy-in on your behalf. Therefore, we
will deposit $10,000 into your PokerStars account in the next 72 hours.
The $1,000 towards travel expenses have already been deposited in your
PokerStars account.

Finally - thanks twoplustwo for teaching me mad mtt skills...

Yeah... won't be posting any pics on 2p2, I'm smarter than that.

Glad to see you unbanned though, learned a lot from your MSNL posts...

Wow. Just got through paying for my wedding.
We think it was around $15,000, and it was a small wedding in a small town.

$10k would sure have made a nice dent. Good game.

that is sick, congrats. i take the cash 100% of the time, even if i don't have anything to pay for. not cashing after playing so much just to get to the ME would be unbelievably sucky.

Explain to your fiance what a sick hot heater is and go play in the ME for either a lavish wedding or a Vegas-style drivethru. It's the BBV way.

Also, congrats x2.
