There was no point updating the results of my HORSE fantasy league after my superstars, Allen Cunningham and David Oppenheim, unceremoniously went bust during the course of a two-hour nap on Tuesday afternoon. I actually sort of blame my nap for their demise, sort of like when the Fisher Stevens' character in Flamingo Kid loses his contact lense at the racetrack and yells "wait! stop!" in the vague direction of his horse, who inexplicably falls to the back of the pack.
There were still two living members of my stable at that point--Greg Raymer, who cashed the event, and Mike Wattel--but ultimately David Singer and Barry Greenstein, both at today's final table, got the job done for Jesse's team.
The final table is absolutely sick and I'd like to wish especially good luck to chip leader Amnon Filippi and John Hanson, both New York players representing strong for the East Coast at this prestigious finale.

I busted out of the 5K-shorthanded event today, and I've decided to play the 1K Stud Hi-Lo event that Pat Poels won last year. It will be the first 5PM tournament I've played all season and should make for a nice change of pace. I actually played stud hi-lo (not well, or anything) a long time before I ever played hold 'em, at the Sandia Casino in Albuquerque, NM.
