The cards didn’t run great, but I had a few good hands. My premium hands held up in big pots. I didn’t bad beat anyone, they didn’t bad beat me. Nothing special. Ended up in third place for $60, which is pretty good for eleven people and five rebuys.

Running Total: $86

They showed 90 seconds of the hammer throw. 90 seconds! That’s the kind of event I want ten minutes on.

I wish they’d set up some of the events more. I love volleyball, but they don’t even tell you when you’re watching a gold medal match or a pool qualifying round. It’s pathetic enough that we have to watch trials and heats of some of these events at the expense of other sports, could they at least tell us what’s going on?
