Well, we'll start with the best news:
BOO FUCKING YEAH SHIP HOORAY WAHOO.
I had runner-up'd a bunch of steps prior to this and was almost about to throw in the towel but I lucksacked one time and didn't lose my races. I just feel so happy about this. In a way it's the culmination of like five years of work, as when anyone in the USA starts poker they usually do it dreaming of the day they play in the big dance with Brunson and them. Although that's romanticized and not nearly what it will be like, this is just huge for me in general as a poker player overall.
Kudos to CamilaPunt on LP, we were deep in it together and he pulled through as well. I'm heading to Vegas in late June and will probably stay until the end of the ME.
I'll probably bump this again but I am looking to sell up to 50% of myself in 1% increments, so if anyone is interested in getting their gamb00l on shoot me a PM.
The bad news is my cousin who was in the military recently passed due to results of an injury he sustained during the conflict. He was only 25 and had previously lived with my family for quite some time so it's really hitting close to home. I had him in mind through much of the tournament and really feel like I owe it to him to make the most of this opportunity and really get out there and do it. He just had a child and I was actually planning to visit them in Texas before the ME, so this is truly a mix of emotions for me. For those who believe in such things, if you could say a small prayer for my family I would really appreciate it.
Can't wait for my Summer class to end so I can get out there and really do it.
Thanks LP I really owe much of this luck and success to this community, no BS.
Guess that's it, Got an exam in 6 hours  .
Booo.
