14 hours left before the clock strikes midnight.
Ants' victory Tuesday night changed everything. As I email GC, it was like someone shooting a 59 on the 3rd round of major to take a 7 stroke lead going into Sunday. Basically the pack of golfers behind the lead now had to take a lot more risks to make up such a deficit in a tiny period.
And take risks we did.
Rowin was the first to take a stab at climbing the mountain. he got off to a decent start when he took down a 45 player $10 tourney for a cool prize of $171. However he proceeded to embark on a freeze and dropped 10 tourneys in a row. As he stated last night "One man can only take so many 70/30 suckouts on the river. I HATE poker.". Amen brother. Amen.
GC and Maninder ran pretty card dead yesterday and when they flopped a big hands, they'ed run into the nuts or get sucked out. They will need to overcome the emotional wounds as well as the poker gods if they hope to make noise today.
DC moved up to the $30+ range last night which is a far cry from the $2+.25 tourneys he used grind away at just 3 weeks ago. DC managed to cash in one of his tourney but bricked the other one. His estimated bankroll is $150 right now.
I was the only who seemed to be winning the timely flips and sucking out every now and then. Although I'm still very pissed at donking away my huge lead in the $50 9-man SNG, I'm within striking distance of Ants if I get off to some early results.
I have to give props to Ants for not being a pussy. He played last night, although I sense he was regretting it after bricking his first 4 tourneys. He was able to cash in his last one. I'd guess his stack is now around $400 w/1 rebuy.
Good luck to all today. Please comment frequently with your bankroll status.

I'm a bit torn as Thursday is usually "wine night" :) It'll be handy though in case I run bad, I'll have some alcohol to heal my wounds and dream of MCFC3 to catch the elusive prize.
Just a note to confirm the ending of MCFC2 ... any SNG started BEFORE midnight counts in the standings! I'm expecting last minute charges and grinding.
Please do NOT start any SNGs after midnight but in progress SNGs are allowed to complete.
Good luck everyone.
I just won a $55 HU. Probably one of the best matches I've played as I didn't make any mistakes, played position well, made one semi-bluff that netted me a nice pot...folded to all his AIPF bets..and call his post-flop all-in bets with top pair and a draw.
Bankroll is up to $326 w/1 rebuy. I believe the lead is now around $80.
Ants..let me know if you want to play HU later.
im at 399 and change...im not trying to cheese a victory by saying no...and im going to prove that by playing a couple more sng's but im not a big HU fan at all...im sure you could tell by the tourneys i play (or TOURNEY actually).....if you guys want to do that for the next mcfc thats completely fine with me but if i dont have to i rather not...:).....if you wwant to join a sng with me though let me know!!!
I just took a 2nd place in a 6 man HU. I was on the brink of bubbling, but repeated jammed my way out of that. Then I was in 1st place HU and my AT lost to 62. Flop was AT6. Check. Check. Turn is a 6. I bet. He min raises. I call. River is a 4. I check. He jams. I tank..and call..and puke at his 62o.
I'm at $359 w/1 rebuy. I'm $40 behind Ants..and he's playing a $33+3 SNG. I'll rail him for a while before deciding my next move.
Less than 2 hours left and it's become very tight.
Ants just dropped a $33+3, and his bankroll sits at $363.49.
I'm at $359.54.
Ants and I have agreed to play a $5 HU and then a $20 HU tourney.
So I entered two tourneys beore 12Am and i I win both my bankroll will 375$ no rebuys!!!
Cahnces are extremely low but i will have a running blog going!
DC
This pretty much sums up my MCFC2 experience
Final BR: 31.93 w/ 1 rebuy
