Thanks to our sponsors (who I won't mention because they are listed at the bottom), Chuck and Peter. Getting to hear Howard talk was one of the highlights of the trip. Thanks even to Binions and Nolan Dalla. Thanks to Patrick for the clocks and the pin and the chips... I really didn't want to do any organizing this year--I told everyone that I would participate in the CHORSE, ADV, and math geek meetings but didn't want very many organizational duties. For the most part, everyone else came through and I could just enjoy my time dumping money at Chinese poker. Thanks to my CHORSE teammates, Jerrod and Steve, Sabyl for organizing the team, and Linda and Michelle for agreing to play at the last minute! Linda is going to display the team trophy at the Card Player offices, so hopefully Thanks to Beth & Scottro for organizing the ADV, Kevin Un, Shelley, and Heldar for helping them run a successful Calcutta (again this year we had the winner, Beth and Kevin both pushed to grab the pair). A second thanks to Thanks to Andrew Prock for organizing the math geeks. Thanks to him, Jerrod, Michael, Cliff, and Chris Ferguson for many stimulating game theory ideas. Thanks to Sabyl for the ride to Mesquite, Frank and Shelly for Thanks to Patti and Paul for a great final table. And Patti for trying to take Nick's money afterward. Thanks to everyone else whom I have slighted! I will post pictures soon, I am exhausted!
