I built up my stack back to T320K, then got busted out on a rather unlucky hand
and had to settle for 5th place for $62'60.
I am travelling back home to Switzerland right now. I will try to write a full
report from back home.
You might pur up your questions right here and I will try to answer them as
good as I can in my report.

Congratulations on the 6th finish,I know you wanted higher but thats pretty
good anyway.I have met you several times at tourneys and have found you to be a
very good player as well as a nice guy.Keep up the good work.

Hi, Chris: Thanks for the offer.

Did any of the following (or anything else) provide distractions:

1. Showing the cards to the camera?
2. Knowing the cards will be shown on TV in the future?
3. Having to stack chips so they would not block the camera?
4. Dealing with the stupid light patterns on the table (seemed to get better
later).
5. The "models".

Also, was there anything about the broadcast or set-up you particularly
enjoyed?

Thanks.

Good questions. Chris may be en route and I s/w him and asked 1and 2. 5 is
easy.
1) emphatically no
2) emphatically no (I even played devil's advocate about others knowing CBs
strategy and equating hand movement, eye movement, studying him on tape, but
he stayed firm insisting he adjusts and won't always make the same play even
in essentially similar situations. He is a great thinker though and I
believe others may be compromised. Let's say I watch a more animated player
like Men on a WPT show ... I have the feeling by studying when and how he
gets chatty I might be able to pick up something on tendencies. Conversely,
Hennigan is totally unreadable IMO. Sits the same way (motionless), looks
the same way (usually straight ahead -- over the pot), etc.
5) Hey, Chris is a man and Jamie is a ten. The others were nice also.
