    Woohoo, Go Paul!

    So, I'm really excited for a friend of mine. Right now he's sitting at the final table of the World Series of Poker. There's 6 people left. I don't know where he'll finish, but just being there now means he's instantly a multi-millionaire.

      5 people! He's still there!

      Holy crap. Even if he lost right now, he'd be $3.2 million dollars richer. Damn...

            Well, it's been four hours since the tournament ended. He took 2nd (around $6 million). They should be on the beginning of one hell of a party weekend right about now.

                  Well, that and having a huge chip lead at the final table. Gold had 3x what the next guy did when the table was down to 6 men. By the time it was heads-up, Gold was 7:1 Paul's stack.

                        Wow! That was your buddy? That is cool. I was reading about it earlier and thinking, holy shit! 12 million! But I'd take 6 million

                            Wombat, you have to tell us if the party was cool or not, or even if it's still going, who knows.
