    Just checked the EPT blog from "Otis" and from what I can make out Mike (Shortstack here, Luckyblind in his blog) is in the money and still there in the last 21.

    Great work fella. Good Luck.

    Thanks for the support guys ! We are playing down to 8 today. All the action can be followed at The EPT Blog . RE: Camel vs Luckyblind - one of the final hands last night involved the two of us, it went as follows :

    Camel limps UTG, blinds 4000/8000 800 ante. I make up the blinds from the small. Big blind Luca from Italy checks.

    I am 99% certain The Camel has KK or AA. Flop is Q Q 7 with two clubs. I have Q 9. I check; Luca checks. Camel bets 16,000, I raise to 32,000, Luca folds, Camel calls. Turn is the J of clubs. I check, The Camel bets 40,000 ! I move in for just over 100,000. A little though and he folds his pocket Kings including the K of clubs - Nice !

    I'm coming in late on this, as is my wont in life - did ShortStack buy in, or win a satellite into it?

    He won it on Pokerstars apparently. He's in the last 18 now and I suppose they are televising the last 8 as they did in Dublin, camera-table and all!

    I'll just mention 3 players who'd strike fear* into even the most accomplished of players:
    HJ
    DeV
    Shortstack
    ...and none of them have won an event yet.
    Draw your own conclusions from that ;)

    * or something
