The Check

Despite my well-laid plans, I didn't play at all the last two days. I've been so busy getting myself ready to leave Vancouver that I couldn't find the time.

However, I felt the St. Baldrick's Foundation shouldn't be limited to my $100 donation. If I had played 150-200 games like I thought I would, I could have very possibly won a few thousand and cut them a significantly bigger check. Because of that, I decided to play the $300 Deepstack MTT at Edgewater Casino on Saturday afternoon and pledge 10% of my winnings. Sad to say I busted 9th (Top 5 paid) but I did have 20% of my friend Dunc who happened to finish 3rd for $3500.

20% of $3200 is $640, so I will be donating a total of $164 to support my friend and help fund children's cancer research. Everybody wins.

It's my last night/morning in Canada and while I'm tempted to write about my feelings/time here, I think it's best saved for later as it's 4 AM and I've got to wake up early-ish tomorrow if I want to make it to California before midnight.

Were you busted by a rather handsome dude in a black hoodie who check-called your shove on the turn of JTTx with AJ?

If so, that was me.
