2008, 2009, ...

Blog-readers know that I won my seat for the WSOP 2008 back in January in a gutshot.com online satellite.

I am now on my way to securing a 2009 seat .... the gutshot forum league is running on a monthly basis, with the winner in each month to take a set in a freeroll at the end of this year which will result in a 2009 package.

That's a long way off, but the first part of the job is done as I won February. The league runs weekly but there were only 3 weeks this time since the league did not kick-off until 11th February.

I won the first tournament on 11th, came 2nd in the 2nd one and this meant that a very specific outcome was needed on the 3rd and final day to prevent me taking the seat. Although I failed to make the final table this time, I did secure the seat.

Tick.
