I had a couple more really productive meetings in the last few days and got a lot of work done, so, regardless of what happens tomorrow and afterwards, the series has not been wasted. That's not going to matter, though, because I think I'll just win the ME, instead. My table is Tropical 2 (in the satellite room) - that's an open invitation to stop by and say hello if you feel like it.

Meanwhile, a huge shoutout to Bond, who won a 3K Bellagioment last night (!) and got out of makeup (!!!) in addition to an awesome (not actually awesome) 14K gold bracelet. Combined with his WSOP FT and the other Bellagio chop he's had, he's now up about 300K on the series (of which he keeps, like, 20% - thx makeup) and might be enough to get him signed by FTP or Stars. I really hope so, because the guy deserves it.

That now makes 6 final tables for the house (4 WSOP, 2 Bellagio) and - my best guess - around 400K in profit (of course, 3/4 of that going to various people's makeup.) Sirwatts and I are the exception to the rungood, but Watts has 100K after day 1, so I'm gonna go ahead and assume we'll both FT it.

Here's to tomorrow being awesome!
