We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth. (Mary Antin)

Even money

Approximately five hours into the day and Josh is on a break with $10,400 in chips, which is 4% more than he started with. Though not a front-runner (the day's leaders are at $23,000), he's outlasted several big names, including Phil Hellmuth, my least favorite poker player of all time. Yay, Josh!

That's awesome! Hope you're enjoying Vegas, too... (found a spa yet?)

And Adam wanted me to add... Go Green!

After nearly doubling his stack, Josh busted out to a flush with a set of 7s. (I've always told him he favors 3-of-a-kind a little too much.) Some players he out lasted: Phil Gordon, TJ Cloutier, Antonio Esfandiari, Mike Matusow, and Jennifer Harmon.

Josh, congrats on making it to the big leagues of the poker world. That is awesome!

If it had been a Black Mariah, Boosh, or even King of Pain you would have schooled those guys. :-)

Congrats again on the big success. I hope you guys had fun on the rest of your trip there.

-Mike
