Only three days left before I leave this ice coated wasteland that is West Waterloo. The "first day" of the tournament has been split up into 2 flights. I've been assigned to the second one, which means I'll have all of Thursday to start getting nervous before I being play on Friday. All the big names of poker look to be there, some notables that are beginning on my day include Barry Greenstein (one of the biggest cash game players out there), Chip Jett, Daniel Negreanu (2004 Card Player Magazine player of the year), Erik Siedel (you may remember him from Rounders - although he only came in 2nd the World Series that year), Juha Helppi (won a WPT on season 1), Phil Ivey, Josh Arieh, and 170+ other assorted fish. There's 360 entrants now, but I would expect a few more since they are holding satellites on Wed and Thurs.
PokerStars has also decided to um, copy me and they have their own offical blog coverage of the tournament here at http://caribbeanpokeradventure.blogspot.com/
To get ready for the tournament, I practiced in the $200 weekly tournament at PS today. According to the law of averages, I'll probably win the WPT because the best hand I got was AQo and competely missed on the flop. Ended up going all in with 78o vs 77 and went out in 1148th place out of 2386. Bodes well. I'm due!
