Eric,
You're buddies with Mike Mitchell?  Dude, that guy is a Godzilla!!  I'd not heard of him before and when I saw he was still on the winner's side on day two I watched his match against Ernesto.  Ernesto starts off the match by running a 3 pack, and I noticed Mike was just sitting there patiently waiting his turn.  No panic whatsoever.  He won that match at hill-hill.  I was so impressed I made a point to come up to him afterward, introduce myself, and congratulate him.  Nice guy.
Yes, I look forward to meeting you too, if not before, then certainly at the Swanee.  I don't play in many tournaments either, but I really enjoyed this one, even though I'm dead money. :grin-square:  I did beat Brendan Crockett in the first round and got knocked out by Big Wave Dave in the 4th round.  Still it was a great experience, worth repeating, as I met a lot of really nice people.
