    There have been six Bodog/PocketFives Challenge tournaments, ranging in size from 70 to 170 players.

    BigGunX has played all six, here are his stats: 2 firsts, 1 third, 1 fifth, 1 eleventh, and one bubble.

    Very nicely done sir.

    I caught the end of the tourney when it was down to three, so also congrats to McGarret and Pochubba it to the end tonight.

    Thanks guys. I've been quite the luckbox lately. Looking forward to the rest of these. Dyzalot and TopGun711 are right behind me. It's gonna be fun.

    He cheats! He's been putting bounties on me to anyone that busts me before the top 30%! The lengths that this guy will go to...

    Winning with A5 vs AQ will certainly help your stats.

    I need to learn how to do that.

    I was unaware there was a bounty when I did my "brillant" call. Thanks for the 20 since that was all I recieved from the tournament since my AKs lost to AJo.

    His stats should be even better. When he finished 11th, I made a very loose call on his 98th raise in a row on my blind and was dominated. I sucked out big time and eliminated him or he might have won another.

    Great job Shawn and congrats on last night's win. You know we will be shooting for you though. Dyz and I may combine to put a bounty on you at a critical point.

    even though i won my seat already, i think i will play a couple more just for the competition and try to make a little extra $$. love playing against other P5r's as they are a great challenge

    Ballistik - if you win the challenge Bodog will use the package to buy you in to $10000 worth of preliminary WSOP events of your choice and give you 2500 in cash. It is in the terms of the contest.

    Very nice job, BigGunX. I have sat at a table with you a couple of time in these tournies now. You seem to have a great feel for the table. You know when to be aggressive, you know when to back off, and you know when to get in and gamble.

    Like Johnny Mac chased Borg from tennis, Gun has chased me from NL, everyone knows how to play NL now, not as well as Gun, but good enough to shrink your ROI like a penis after swimming, I now play Omaha 8/b, your game gets better and better Gun, big things ahead, and I'm not speaking of wowswift.

    lol thanks guys. I appreciate it. It's been a good run on there. I'm just trying to gear up for the WSOP.

    betbrett, sorry about that suckout...but I wasn't anywhere near all-in at that time. I think I had about 50% of the chips with 6 or 7 people to go.

    thanks for the kind words, jemenz. very much appreciated.

    See you guys on Saturday!

    Shawn
