Philly Stoolie And Temple Guy Scott Blumstein Is Among The 27 Left In The WSOP Main Event

Philly represent! Again! America can suck on these Tastykakes. Montco’s Joe” McKeehen took down the bracelet last year, and the Delaware Valley is close to bringing 2017’s crown from the greatest card tournament in all the land. And you’re damn right Scott’s has the City Of Brotherly love and the surrounding area’s support behind him. Hey, I don’t care whether poker is considered a “Sport” or not. We’ll take winners whenever we can get ‘em. You’re looking at a city that would’ve blown and given Smarty Jones a parade down Broad St. if he took down the Triple Crown. Shit, we DID give the Taney Dragons a parade for finishing 3rd in the LLWS. So kudos to you, Scott. 3 tables left.
A Sit n’ Go for the ages. We’re behind you big guy.

To put things in perspective, I lasted till the final hour of Day 2. Nate busted in the middle of Day 3. They’re starting Day 7 now. 7!!! That’s 70 hours (10 hrs a day) within a little more than a week (Days 1 A, B, and C, started last Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, respectively). I was playing for around 20 hours and was getting the shakes. It’s one of the most mentally daunting tasks to be that sharp for that long. Not just poker, ANYTHING. One mistake or mental slip up and you’re dunzo. But, hey, at least someone is having a magical run that, you know, actually amounted to something more than arguing about the distribution of non-existent money amongst your coworkers in the end.

PS – Long live Vegas Nate
