I played in the charity event last night and finished in 5th place. Wil Wheaton helped get this relief tourney going with Lee Jones. Many thanks go out to them and Otis for setting this up. Pokerstars raised a ton of money for the victims. Thankfully, a very large field played. There were 2,212 people in this event. Wil kicked butt and finished in 20th place. There were also a ton of poker bloggers playing in this event. Too many to list in this post. However, Helixx was one of them and he did very well. He finished in 13th place. As you can see from the picture to the right, DavidK won the event! Congrats to him for playing great! A job well done. DavidK actually KO'd me from the tourney. I had the final table chip lead and blew it all to him in two hands. DavidK eventually won the event when he took down Stardawg in heads up play. Good job guys! Ironically, Stardawg KO'd Wil. Too funny!! Many thanks also goes out to the 2000+ people that signed up and made a donation to the Hurricane Katrina victims. There's 3 more events left so check out the Pokerstars blog for details. Thanks! I guess I should've had a last longer prop bet with Wil for the Card Squad bragging rights! Oh well. Next time!


1. Congrats, awesome finish!
