So the 50K, I came in fifth place.
I was actually chip leader at one point in the final table.
I screwed it up, you know, and you live, you learn.
I never got in that deep before.
So I was chip leader for a while, but I lost a couple of hands, two unlucky, one bad play.
But it was a good win, good haul for me.
I got my career earnings over a million dollars now, which is great for tournaments.
It's my hobby.
So I've been taking it up part-time for the past three or four years.
I've been playing for a long time, but just socially.
And then in the past year or so, last year I entered the 50K and I came 13th.
And I was like, whoa, maybe I can play the game.
Because I was social as a player.
I was a pretty decent social player.
So then this year rolled around for the World Series.
Let me do a couple of these.
So I did the 100K, and I came in eighth place.
And I did the 50K, and I came in fifth place.
Wow.
And I was chip lead on both at one point in time.
