The misdeal probably helped you after all, you Carolina barbeque eating sonofabitch. Nice to see that a. I once again blew up Matusow-style and b. the eventual winner took me out. Nice job, Gerritt.

so thats what they call playing bad these days? a matusow-style blow up.

[Drud Report]

Nice anonymous post.

[Cowboys Fan]

I guess from now on, you can call me Mr. Matusow. Anyway, great job, G Man. Props go to my fellow WSOP veteran, Al, for making it into the money every game this season.

[Slim]

I think Sandman would be the opposite of a cowboys fan... how many other WSOP veterans are there on the Tour?

[Slim]

and we know dino is a chiefs fan... who am I missing?

[Al]

Reveal yourself, masked man!

Nice work Ritt, there was something in the air last night. Or was it just your gas? Either way, big win.

[the cooler]

Ivan played in a WSOP event this past year...

[Slim]

is he a cowboys fan?

no clue...does playing in 1 event make you a veteran?

[Richie Rich]

I am, how do you say? Ahh, yes... titillated.

[the cooler]

oops forgot to type in my info

[Storm]

Congrats G.

F the Cowboys.

[Shock G]

Ivan actually is a Dallas fan, but fuck him. Did HE win last night?

I don't think so.

This is MY THREAD!! Ha!

And, incidentally, any further dumping of huge chip stacks will henceforth be known as "The Drud". Not to mention any incredibly heinous misdeals. It truly was an unprecedented fuckup. Take a bow, sir. You officially entered the 4SPT Hall of Shame with that smooth display of card mechanics.

Can't believe that didn't screw up either of our nights, but it easily helped lift the Shock Town Curse off me.

SHOCK G FOR THREE!!!...........GOOD!!!

By the way, Go Bears.

[Drud Report]

Pistols at dawn, sir. Pistols at dawn!

[will]

How is "The Drud" to be used in a sentence? I need to know because I'm not comfortable saying "I just pulled The Drud".

Also J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!

[Shock G]

You can say you pulled "A Drud" if pulling "The Drud" isn't your bag. Makes it slightly less personal that way, I suppose!

[Drud Report]

But you have to do it at a final table. Losing all of your chips early is nothing special. Even if the move is a total donk off.

[Shock G]

The point was that Drud tried to donk them off on SEVERAL occasions throughout the night, only to be saved by his own misdeal - hence the change in verbage.

I bequeath thee - "The Drud"

If it DOES happen to occur at a final table, then...

"The Drud Extraodinaire"

Either that, or....

"The Super Duper Extra Special Drud-o-rama"

They'll all be sent into Webster's first thing Monday morning and should be official, in paperback only, by the end of next week.

[Drud Report]

"The point was that Drud tried to donk them off on SEVERAL occasions throughout the night, only to be saved by his own misdeal - hence the change in verbage."

Only to be saved by his own misdeal? Inaccurate, sir. I didn't start the all-in craze until after the misdeal. At that point I had about 1,900 in chips. Later, when I was down to 1,300, then I started moving in to either die or double up.

You need to let the misdeal go... it might've saved you. The REAL cards might not have featured your 10. Remember not to leave that out of your narrative. And also consider that I came out of that looking much worse than you did.

Just... let... it... go.

[Shock G]

All in good fun baby. Hope you don't think I'm mad or anything. Could care less. Just having a little at our expense! It was more funny than anything else. Didn't affect anything.

But it doesn't change the fact that a new nickname could come out of it!
-G-

[Pick]

Jenn/Jeff: I believe G's victory photo is a clear candidate for best photo. Please accept my nomination. I hope/expect to see it crack Jenn's website on artistic power alone. It will now grace as my screensaver for this week. Congrats G. Way to keep it in the family. Still hate you very much. I don't know how you do it. That is the last time I counsel you on getting out of host mode and into champion mode. The way you obsess on being a thoughtful host does remind me of my Mom, however. Cheyenne: great to see your mug and nice call to send my ass home pissed off. Eliot: Time to seek help. Richie: What happened?! Pressure getting to you? Focus, cause here we come. Until next time...

[Drud Report]

G: I'm glad you're not mad; and in a way, I'm glad I didn't take it down last night. It would have felt a little weird.

I agree with Pick: that photo is priceless. One of the best ever posted on this site's homepage.

[Pibb]

Great photo indeed. Maybe my 4th St. history is rusty but is this the only photo not to feature money, cards, or at least some felt? It says, "Hey, I just got to the hotel in Palau, I'm really jet-lagged, and I ordered a Zombie from room service." more than it says "I just won a poker tournament." Awesome.

[Von Sandman]

1. Thank You Slim for defending my honor. I would sooner be a calling station, or for that matter a transgendered Thai prostitute, than a Cowboys fan (Nice hands, Romo...)

2. Actually winning a poker tournament is almost always the result of good luck, though usually you have to play reasonably well too. Showing up at the final table EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN WEEK, however, is not luck--it's phenomenally impressive. I am truly sorry that I have not seen firsthand how you are doing it Al, but you have clearly taken it to a whole 'nother level. Next time I am in town, I want some lessons.
