Lord High Everything Else

The title of this post is almost identical to that of my post from April 26, 2014, which was "My Lord High Everything Else"; here's what I had to say then:

I never saw a production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Mikado", but learned about the humorous title of one of its characters from a colleague at a former company, when he was describing the career arc of a high-ranking executive in that company. According to my colleague, the executive had progressively gained more and more power, until he finally became "Lord High Everything Else".

In that post, I was ascribing the title to cash game no limit hold'em; that explains the "My". This time, I'm ascribing it to myself :-) The reason why is that last night, that's what I became in the MTT NLHE I entered. I just kept growing my stack, moving up and up until finally I was the chip leader. I made the final table, then made it to heads up. In the end, I had to settle for second place. I won the most play money I'd ever won in an MTT - $815,600. It was timely, too, since I'd lost $200,000 earlier in the session in a cash game. For the first time in my career, I cracked the 99th percentile barrier. I may never play another massive again; there's serious money to be made in $10,000 BI+EF MTTS. Needless to say, I'm very happy with my performance :-)
