SpS III Game 10 Results
Those were the odds I placed on Jun winning when he was sitting on the short stack with 7 players to go. Congratulations to Jun for mounting a nice comeback that allowed him to ultimately take down Pibb to earn his 5th 4SPT win (first in nearly a year and a half) and secure his seat at this year's TOC.

I'm not sure how he was when it got down to the final four, but when I was there, Jun was quiet at the final table. No giggles, no lamentations about what a bad player he is (while raking in chips). Just quiet. Wou Tang quiet. It was scary. I think his silence was saying that he wasn't there to have fun and give bad beats, he was there to battle back from his chip deficit and win. It worked very well, apparently! Nice job!
And Storm, back-to-back cashes? Powerful.

Jun that is definitely the most impressive I've seen you play in a while. Since I didn't stick around I'm not sure how you came back heads up, but you were definitely focused. Truly earned the "best player on tour" moniker that people have been throwing at you around the tables lately. Congrats!
Pibb, I will see that river in my nightmares for weeks to come, so close to back to back. Sigh.

Not sure how Storm lost all of those chips, but a first and third place finish in consecutive weeks is pretty impressive. Pibb, not a bad way to return from Thailand, eh? Jun... you give me hope that my next win (it's been almost 10 months for me!) will come, eventually. Congrats on the win.

How did I not take the bet? So sick...
From now on, Al is "SirFlopsALot24", to me.

For a guy who was napping on the futon during the break you sure hung in there. Congrats on No. 5 Jun.
Storm, sorry I didn't take it home after that beat. I let you down.
And remember Cooler, Wou won't cheer for you. Ever. Seriously, don't even ask.

Thanks for the praise, guys, but the cards simply fell for me Thursday night. I hardly believe I'm "best player on tour", but I more than appreciate the gesture.
Pibb, you're the last person I would want to play heads up...really. Also, Wou's response was classic.

Nice work Jun. Heartfelt congratulations.

Mucho congrats Jun... back in stride...

Congrats, buddy. But you're right Jun, how could you be the best player on tour when everyone knows that Richie Rich...ooh wait, Richie's been passed by sirflopsalot in the overalls and may need to focus in the weeks ahead. Titties!

SirFlopsALot24 is WAY better than Richie Rich. Need I remind you? SirFlopsALot24 playing in the WSOP main event. Double R did not.
