I'm in the middle of a deep run at a large tournament at the Mohegan Sun. With 74 people left out of an original 745, I have double the chip average, probably good for a top 15 stack.
The top prize in the tournament is $60,000+, but it is likely that a deal will be struck at the final table to divide the money more equally. I am guessing that the final ten will each get around $15,000. Deals like this are allowed, but it only takes one player to object. In this type of payout, however, it is very likely. $15,000 is roughly 4th place money, and 10th is only $3,000. Most players will take the guarantee of a good payout instead of playing for 1st. Hopefully I'll be there to make a choice.
No matter what happens today, I had a blast yesterday. I really can't think of a major mistake that I made all day. There are a few hands that I would have played a little differently, but overall when I put alot of chips in, I was a favorite. That's really all you can do in a tournament. I am loaded with confidence. If I don't make mistakes, and pick up a few hands, I'll be there when it counts.
As I mentioned before, I've been twittering updates, and will again today. You can find me at Bmaggiacomo.
Looking for any positive energy you can spare!
