$75,000 Poker Stars Tournament

Played in the  Super Nova Saturday $75k Poker Stars Saturday Tournament.  Finished 20th out of 2,000+ players.  My biggest tourney win was $3,700.  This is something I try to play in every Saturday since I took most of my BR outta poker stars.   After 6 years of full time poker I’ve decided I needed a break and I am working on venturing into other projects.  Eventually I’ll probably miss poker and have the motivation to start playing full time agian.  Until then, I just play once a week when I’m not too hung over.  My screen name is Sandviper23 and I’m posting some of the notable hands from the tournament.
