I wish I had the words to describe what's happened to me, but I lack the literary skills of my Up For Poker counterparts. So for now, all you get is pictures. I'll try to give you more tomorrow.
It started innocently enough at the blogger ring game:
Then I sucked out just enough in Dr. Pauly's Saturday tourney:
Finally, the players at Pacific Poker never saw this donkey coming:
I'm a little overwhelmed at this point. I have to thank Otis for sweating me during the Pacific tourney and all the blogger support during Pauly's tourney. It was a blast. Now I have to step away from the computer and let it soak in!
Wow! I watched the final table of Dr. Pauly's tourney, but now that I've read this post I gotta say that the 234$ look like a tip against the 3.450$ of the Pacific tourney! Congrats!

This shouldn't come as much of a suprise to anyone.
Way to go CJ!

Might be the day to play the $500K at Stars.
Posted by: Joe Speaker at November 20, 2005 11:38 AMDamn CJ, nice job. But don't think that means you're winning the Shootout in the desert today. You've already got your seat, and I'm aiming for one of the others.

Posted by: President Dave at November 20, 2005 5:55 PMNo surprise at all. Love to see the old home game boys do well..... but I'm sure it pales in comparison to a spirited hand of trees ;)
Posted by: Randall at November 20, 2005 7:00 PMCJ, you're playing awesome poker right now. Don't forget to mention your win in the Full Tilt WPBT shootout satellite, and your strong performance the following week (last Sunday) in the same event. Freaking amazing man. Congrats on the big win on Pacific!!
