got a break in one of these things. Special thanks to Shaun Deeb for limp calling a 25bb all-in after the rebuy period with 55 when i had TT (there was another bad limper who i thought might actually call off with 77-99 etc) and to the guy who open shoved 50bbs at the final table with JJ utg when I had aces ;-) Heads-up i was left againt an excellent player, TheCleaner11, and we both had 100bbs so it went on for a while, but i got the best of the all-ins.

Looking forward to seeing the PokerStars SCOOP final structures now - there are three buyin tiers and the blind limits are 15,20 and 30 mins respectively with the same chips/levels. Im really glad for this change, although the increased numbers and very gradual levels may still cause the smaller events to run long if the levels are too gradual. Ive said my bit on WCOOP structures in the past, and exchanged emails with Scotty from Stars recently, and hopefully they will able to come up with a solution along the line of more 2-day events, etc that works for everyone.
