    Thanks all....was def a great result for me and Albari to get heads up...We made a deal 6 handed and left some to play for. Amazing turnout for the event, over 900 runners for a $1650...looks like they will try to run one of these deepstack events every couple months..

    Now top ten in Cardplayer POY, shooting for #1, c ya all on the trail.

    Mike

    I would like to announce that heads up, Mike raised, I 3 bet with lots of chips, maybe 60% in play, he snap shoved and quietly whispered so the dealer couldn't hear "Allen, let's just flip for it eh? I have 77. I really am confident aboot you having a huge edge on me HU so please lets just flip eh?"

    I then said, ok Mike, you got it and called, and lost the flip after a couple hours of playing on about 7 levels of heads up against my min raising Canadian roommate.

    But for real, good job, congrats Mike, and see you in top 5 poy in a couple weeks.
