don't know why, can't put my finger on it, just can't say, why i feel this way,but i woke up with hope this morning. something somewhere tells me everyone will get paid,chicago will go better than planned,and the ipt will bloom and pool will be bigger than poker is right now. maybe it's because chicago is booked by the ipt and if they fail to pay the players they will lose in excess of 4 million dollars. also, if trudea doesn't have the 3 million to pay the players, he can have ho cover it, until the deal is done. and in addition, word spreads like wild fire, if players do not get paid, all qualifyers will cease to exists, killing the IPT at it's roots. so, i can't even imagine, that the biggest pool tournament in the history of the world, the 2006 world 8-ball open in reno, and not a soul got paid? it's got to change, and change soon, and well, i think it will, don't know why, can't put my finger on it, it's just soemthing in the air, say's it's too big to be left unattended,continue on pay them however you must, "THE SHOW MUST GO ON"
