Well, this is the day everyone has been waiting for. Out of 780 runners, the final table is set. Erik Seidel is the last big-named pro remaining. It's not quite the stellar final table that we had last year with Gus Hansen, Gobboboy, and Andy Black finishing up 1-2-3. I'm sure everyone at Fox is hoping Seidel makes a huge comeback to win it... because if he busts out early, the final table has absolutely zero star quality.

I made a huge mistake last night, and embarked on a wicked seven-hour drinking bender with a few friends that started out at a local's pub at 8:30pm and ended up at the Las Vegas bar at 3:30am. Probably not such a good idea before I have to cover a final table.
Heck, today is my last day of work. I feel like my senior year in college, a couple of hours before my last final exam. I can't stop thinking about my four month hiatus away from tournament poker, and I'm trying to focus on "the now" which is somewhat hard to do with a pounding headache and a howling stomach. Alas, I'll shake it all off and be ready as soon as cards are in the air at the final table.
Update: After a tough heads up battle, Erik Seidel finished in second place to the young Russian, Alexander Kostritsyn. And yes, for the fourth year in a row, a non-Aussie won the Aussie Millions.
