this just gets better....

i just got off the phone with FHM.

if i beat Phil, he's putting up $10,000 for my buy in into the MAIN F**KING EVENT. not the $1500 tourney. not the $5k tourney. THE. MAIN. EVENT.

also, they are doing a photo shoot at the Bellagio on Monday morning with their new poker columnist. L and I are going to be guests. and i'll get the chance to spend some time with him and get some tips on how to beat Phil.

the columnist?

Doyle Brunson.

Doyle effing Brunson is going to give me poker tips. and prolly stare at my wife's boobs the whole time like my grandpa does.

also, when i win, they're paying for my commemorative tattoo. i think it's at the place they have on that show, "Inked". pretty sure. in the off chance i lose, i have to get "Phil Kicked This" tattooed on my posterioral region.

at this point, i'm feeling very 'out of my league'. off to practice (more). i've spent more time with Phil in the last 5 months than my wife.

well wishes are appreciated, prayers are welcomed and enjoyed, and here's to my 15 minutes of fame.
