I've registered too. By the way if you don't win a place you can also get in just by playing the $1.10 tournament at 8:00pm (no. 176283915). Everyone who plays the that tourney automatically wins a place.

A quick update for my recent play then.
I've played a few of the $5 Double Your Money (Turbo) games recently and I'm doing fairly well. I think I've cashed in 5/7 so far and it looks like it's going to be 6/8 soon. The one I went out in earlier was unlucky, I called with 66 for the flop to come 763. I got someone all in and he'd called with 54o.
Needless to say the board didn't pair to fill me up. But I'm doing okay with them.
Edit: 6/8, roll at $372.

The Mischief of Kenny Tran
In between two hands, Kenny Tran stood up from his table and meandered around the room a tad. He stopped at Table 8 where Antonio Esfandiari was sitting with only his socks on, his sandals tucked safely under his chair. So he thought, anyways. While Esfandiari was distracted by a hand in progress, Tran made the Magician's sandals disappear. He walked across to the corner of the room to find a floor person doing some work and told him that the sandals belonged to the player who had just gotten knocked out. The floor person reluctantly grabbed the sandals and shot off across the room. About a minute later, Tournament Director Jimmy Sommerfield's voice came booming over the PA system: "The player who just busted at Table 18. You left your sandals behind. Table 18 bustout, come get your sandals." It looks like Esfandiari still isn't clued in to the fact that his footwear has gone AWOL. There is a break approaching though.

Antonio Chippin' Up
