13 remain, sadly, Pops is not one of them. Some people would be happy to make over $29.50 / hr, but ask a poker and they'll tell you different

Oh, how the mighty have fallen - our hero has almost half his stack out there in the small blind - maybe he'll pull a treetop

On break, heading into lvl 12: 1500/3K w/ 500 ante. 15 remain.

about 5 mins left in lvl 11

16 remain, avg is 52.8K and looks like pops has got slightly under 60K, on the button

17 left. Level up... 1K/2K w/ 300. Avg stack is 49.7K... M of just under 10. Pops looks to be sitting just around 44K on the button

Bubble burst and Pops is on the good end. He's so proud of himself 'cause now he's gonna have a poker pages bio. Congrats on your gtd payday.

19 remain. Bubble time. Pops just got slightly better than a walk in the bb - everyone folded to sb, sb completed, they check down, A high good

I can't stand Olga, she dealt to me last night and spent most of the time at the table with neck craned up to watch TV. Sit out, I will.

About 20 mins left in lvl 10. 800/1600 w/ 200. I'm sweating the action tableside because Olga is currently dealing my cash game. I can't stand

Momentarily alarmed when i came back from dinner and pops wasn't where i left him. Looks like he's right around 50K, at a diff table -20 remain

On Dinner Break

$18.8K, $10.1K, $5K, $3K, $2K, $1521 for final table.

He just took down a pot that was raised pf - bb bet 3500 at a J52r board, he raised to 9K and wasn't contested

Looks like 22 players left, Pops has been at the same table in the same seat for the whole ordeal...

Pops just doubled through on a monsterpotten, sb vs bb, T99 flop, he ha raised pre w/ AT and called a ridiculous over-shove after he lead at flop

Third player insta-mucked in-turn. Looks like there's 41/169 remaining, 18 paid, he's above avg in chips, hard to get a firm count

Halfway through lvl 7: 300/600 w/ 75 - looked like AJ8r flop, Pops was on the button and bet 4K, after much deliberation, bb folded, 3rd player ,

Avg stack is a little over 12K, pops has got around 20K and just entered lvl 6: 200/400

Pops just got it all-in pf w/ JJ vs TT, held. Sitting a little better than 2x avg at end of lvl 4

Ricky and I suck at poker, pops is still in, he just knocked out an AC regular "Syracuse Chris" by making the call (ahead) with 77 on an 865 flop
