I use America's Cardroom. I'm in the $50K GTD ($16.50 entry fee) right now (noon start) and will join a $125K GTD ($55 entry fee) at 2pm. I want to focus on the $125K today - it looks like a really good tourney.

At the break, am in:

- 208 of 717 in the $125K GTD

- 499 of 1509 in the $50K GTD

7 whiteclaws deep - have been playing since noon

I deposit with a credit card and withdraw Bitcoin.

I got knocked out of the $50K, but destroying the $125K. Prize pool is up to $194K GTD and I'm in 5th of 1026. 1st place is $31,489.76. $55 entry fee.

Prize pool is up to $197,800. I'm in 43 of 228 still slaying it. 1st place is $31,489.76. We are in the money now at $158.24. I had 12 White Claws, about 3 La Croixs and now am drinking Espresso and dark chocolate almond milk.

I ended up getting 24th out of 3956 entrants for $534.06 in the $55 entry $197,800 prize pool.

Happy I made it so far, but was hoping to make a few grand.

Not bad. I always get tilted towards the end. I have trouble sitting down for that long (4+ hours)

Check out this win - Vanessa Kade won a $215 entry $12.5 million GTD for a $1.5 million dollar first place in a field of 69,876 people on Poker Stars.
