Re: WSOP 2+2 MTT Tracking Thread
It would be somewhat ironic and funny if the entire crew of Gavin's backers, who have more or less given up on him at this point, suddenyl find their prize horse up near the chip leaders in the late stages of the tournament.

The fact is, backing anyone over the course of a series of tournaments with that kind of variance is a risk.

Re: WSOP 2+2 MTT Tracking Thread
Nolan,
Not to disagree (Which is followed of course by disagreeing), but I can think of a number of "Gavin is out already???" threads that certienly sounded like giving up. =) That said, GO GAVIN~ Nick

Considering the amazing run he was on leading up to this and his past live tourney results, those of us who took a share must have had a reason to believe our investment was pretty sound -- If Gavin happens to make the final table, I'll see the rest of you Vegas residents when I fly out to collect my $ - if not, fugg it, I'm getting married next month and I'm sure the $900 will come back from inside a few Hallmark cards. P.S. I borrowed the $900 from my girl, so I'm 'freerolling' this whole thing....

Regardless of results, though, this has made following the WSOP much more fun than usual. My $1800 came from a quarterly bonus at work, so it's not quite freerolling, but it wasn't money that I count on. Enough of that, though. GO GAVIN! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
