    First off, you guys really did a great job I appreciate all the effort that went in. So many great ones to choose from special thanx to shaniac jr. for helping me pick the winners. winner # 1 goes to lvpokerdealer for 30k... 4k would go into my roth ira 5k for my trip next summer to south africa for the world cup 10k to put into my retirement funds that i cant touch 2k to take me and my dad to the masters 2k to take my mom on a cruise 5k to improve my new house ( get the keys thursday w00t ) the rest I would ship to charity, like my old synagogue and something for the troops and children with cancer if im not chosen, ill buy 1% anywas if you're selling action! =) gl thor and very nice gesture from u winner #2 This entry gets an additional pledge of 1% of me from the 40k to be managed by dumpingkgb as he so thoughtfully proposed in his words When you win it, i would take the 30k and put it towards one of two things or a combination for both. 1. City Missions/Shelters right now need more help now then ever before. with the high rate of unemployment and people losing their jobs daily, many are just becoming homeless. These missions welcome people in off the streets and give them shelter along with food and water. The issue is that many of them are running out of supplies such as toilet paper and soap, things we take for granted. With that said any money put to these missions/shelters, directly helps people to be able to survive. 2. Food/Gifts for Families during Chirstmas and Thanksgiving. The past few years i have participated in this locally and its amazing how much people appreciate and are in need of food and gifts for their family. My goal is to continue to reach out to more and more people each year and 15-30k would literally cover alot of ground. Good Luck at the WSOP and will hopefully see you out there!

    Idk what the contest was, but you sound like a very generous person and the few times I've played with you have been nothing but a stand up guy, even with the badbeats. GL to you in the 40k, hope all goes well.

    Congrats Clay, dumping, and especially thor for being an absolute class act and just all around good person, especially given all of your previous success.

    Best of luck this summer. Can't wait to rail another FT.

    Hail King Thor.
