Sadly, my deep run in the Mega Millions tournament ended last night at 7:30 with a 27th place finish.  Although finishing 27th out of over 6,100 entries is an accomplishment in itself, I was after the BIG money– the money that starts around 5th place.  But, alas, it will have to wait for another tournament.  I took home over $7,000, so I’m happy about that, but I want to take down a BIG win sometime–sooner rather than later.  Thanks for everybody’s support.

Well, I made it through day 2 in one piece (barely).  Out of the starting field of over 6,000 players, there are now 45 of us left.  I am one of the shorter stacks, with just over a million in chips (the average is about double what I’ve got).  That part is a bit troublesome as I would have liked to have a lot more.  BUT, that’s how it goes.  It’s poker.  You never know what can happen.  At this point, my minimum cash is over $6,000.  If I make it through day 3 (tonight), my minimum will jump to over $20,000.  Keep your fingers crossed. . .

I wanted to let you know I made it to Day 2 of the “Mega Millions” poker tournament last night.  I’m going to day two with $282,000 in chips (wish they were real money!).  But, I hope to better my 21st place finish in January with a Major Victory this time.  Day 2 is April 1.  I will keep you posted.
