So it's like 5:00 a.m. here and I just caught a cab back to our hotel with Mats Iremark after the final table got over. Cody ended up playing great short-stack poker but couldn't get the cards to carry him to the final table and he busted out in 11th place. Shannon ended up cruising to the final table even though he called off more chips than the rest of us thought was necessary. I guess when you final table three times in four attempts you probably know a little more than the railbirds. He ended up chopping the final payout 6 ways based on chip counts. He was the 2nd short stack but still took home about $8,600; not a bad payday.

Mats and I ended up just watching the action for about 6 hours and making prop bets on the tournament. He layed me $110 to $100 on who would last longer, his fellow Swedish countryman named John or Shannon. They both ended up being a part of the chop so I kind of robbed a "no decision" out of the bet and didn't lose any money even though John was 2nd in chips. I think he can afford it though since he just won the EPT event in Deauville for almost $500,000. He is a heck of a player and a really nice guy.

Alright, that's enough for 5:00 a.m., I need some sleep.
