24 hour cash game
The Premier League did not go well for me. I just could not get into any of the heats. Hellmuth dominated the qualifying rounds but Juha Helppi won it all with a dominating performance in the final. (more…)

Who is the Captain in Singapore?
I went in as the favorite, with the odd makers for this event placing me ahead of Gus Hansen so I wanted to prove it. The first day was cool. I just cruised though it. Today was the day where I had to make the stand and here is how it went. (more…)
