Those were my aces you cracked - and that hand sent me reeling. It was the first hand I'd lost all day where I was the favorite. I figured at that point you were bound to end up heads-up. You were willing to die, and for that you lived - congrats, my man! Bill! Those were my aces you cracked - and that hand sent me reeling.

I enjoyed playing with you. If there wasn't luck involved.... you'd have finished 3rd. See my blog for what really happened. Well done, Bill! I enjoyed playing with you.

It was tense on the rail, even with all the booze in my bloodstream. I can only imagine what you--and CJ--were feeling. Great job. Billy Legend!

And I greatly enjoy heads up, so I was very prepared. In fact, I was hoping that my heads up play would give me an advantage, but I now know we were similarly prepared. In heads up, I think I won two pots... both when I sensed just a little weakness (one was a limp call, the other was a check post-flop). On every other hand, I had rags and really didn't feel like giving chips away at that point. My plan was to get my money in the pot when I was ahead. With the blinds so high, that was my only hope. When I saw my first Ace, I took my chance and had my shot. Unfortunately, I wasn't a big favorite, and you got your king. It was a blast!!!!!!! It was great fun playing with you Bill.

You scared the crap out of me the whole game. I figured if anyone was willing to go for broke it was you. I seen it in your soul...ala Phil H. I had some good hands but couldn't pull the trigger. As the saying goes, "it's hard to pull the trigger when a man whose not scared to die is looking you in the eyes". You played super well short stacked Bill. I don't think you touched on how you were lowest on chips at our table for some time. Great play and cracking A's is always fun...poor Spaceman. What can I say.
