Moved in/Main Event

I'm officially moved in to my new apartment. Don't worry, pictures will be coming soon!

The main event has started. Almost 7,000 entries this year which is over 500 up from last year. Hellmuth is in the top 15% in chips after all "Day 1's" have been completed. The field has been cut in half and I'll keep updating on the Main Event starting tomorrow. Follow all the action at CardPlayer.com!

I started grindin' it out today on Poker Stars. I'm up $196 through 1 hour and 45 minutes at 1 table ($3/$6 Limit - six handed).
