The Super Jackpot was a tough field. I'm not sure of the *32* entrants but the field of 16 was pretty damn strong. I entered the 2nd round directly after our discussion here. I was super duper mega lucky to draw ubercrappie MCG in the first round. He 'lost' a piece of his video camera so we conveniently couldn't record the match. I'm sure he didn't want proof of getting outplayed by me and hearing it for the rest of his short life ($5 coming my way, side bet that I won't explain right now). He did luckbox out though after having an otherwise uneventful weekend. MCG brought his Sunday game and swooped through the LC to pass Al Faller on this year's ABT points list.
I also entered the round of 16 directly, and was lucky to draw Stick. Unfortunately I left or lost the mount for my tripod, so none of my matches were recorded this weekend. I would have liked proof of outplaying sir luckbox, but what can you do.
Petko and Stepan took 2nd in the doubles event where I was unable to carry my partner.
You didn't do much "carrying", for most of the event you were just complaining about the dice. A few onlookers watched our matches but we talked more about the masters match than we did about the doubles. I tried to solicit for a new partner out of the spectators during the 2nd round but apparently you are stuck with the guy you enter with.
Thought I was going to be stuck about $3k for the weekend, but winning the LC was a nice bonus at the end that allowed me to get to nearly even.
