42k the easy way

Last night, I made 42k the easy way. Purely by chance, I joined a tournament which had two very desirable features:

1. it was a deepstack, meaning the initial stake was 5,000 chips instead of the usual 1,500
2. it required a lower percentile than normal to make the money

The high end of the percentile range for making the money on an MTT NLHE tournament on Pokerstars is about 80; the low end is about 70. Last night's tournament clocked in at 71.52. That's like taking candy from a baby :-)
