Pinky played great all day. Nursing a short stack for a long time to finish in 74th. Unbeleivable!!!
Somehow or other I've managed to finish Day 2 with 345,000 in chips good enough to be in 15th place with 27 players left. I'm gonna need some monster hands today. I'm at the same table as the 2 big stacks (around 1 million),
It has been an incredible experience. Merlotgirl has been pulling her hair out sweating me the last day. The rest of the One Outers hung out watching the action until 3am last night. What can you say but we hang with a terrific group of friends. Hopefully I'll manage to hang on a bit longer and sneak up the payout list a little more.
12 One Outers played in this Event. 2 cashed. That sure doesn't suck.

Congratulations so far! Hope you continue to move up. What a great and exciting experience.
Gumba and Snake sweated you last night until the end.
We are rooting for you to go all the way!!!
Gumba and Judy
Frank & I also had a good time watching you play from the net....I have been pulling for you. The two big stacks are not very experienced but some good pros are still left...I know you will be careful but I don't want to see you get blinded out. Since you went to three tables you picked up a good win maybe the new seat will be better for you...I had fun keeping up till 5 this AM but nothing else was better....well maybe if I was in your shoes....be strong and whatever happens I know you will do your best....you may want to google the names left such as wsop zach fritz to give you an idea of the experience of each....Good Luck Leo

Even if you are not familiar with the name Jason Potter, if you follow poker news at all, you will have heard of the 22 year old Tulsa native.
Jason, JP OSU on PokerStars, was robbed of his winnings, $31k in total, when deciding to take a short walk to a 24 hour McDonalds in Melbourne (Aus). It may have been safer, in hindsight, to pay someone $100 to go for him. JP told me, at the Bellagio dinner buffet, where I have never heard of anyone being robbed, that he felt totally safe in Melbourne.
The fact that the robbery was headline news in Melbourne probably suggests he was unlucky to be a victim of crime.
Police have arrested two suspects but Jason will not have to fly back to Melbourne for any trial.
Jason will be on TV again later in the year as he made the final table at a recent WPT tournament in Reno. Jason's fourth place was worth $103k, a lot of BigMacs.
Jason's interest in poker came from watching TV shows and he started in the Indian casinos aged 18. When he attended OSU to study political science he found the games on campus a little low (staked) so started to play on PokerStars as JP OSU.
Jason describes his style as super aggressive and according to Pokerdb has often gone up to 26 tournaments without cashing.
JP OSU largest online cash was in November 07, when he won the Pokerstars $215 buy in second chance. Jason won $52415 that day.
Jason decided to miss Monte Carlo and has a room booked at the Bellagio for the Five Diamond tournament. He figures the greatest threat to his bankroll could be the girls of Spearmint Rhino.

Congrats on your finish. And to Pinky as well. I was the one in the Blues Hat Railing Mike Eise (the eventual winner).
Hope to see you there next year.
Thanks David & Kelley. Also huge thanks to Jamyhawk and all of the Mike Eise crew. He played great and truly deserved to win the bracelet.
