Now that's a prize pool

The most memorable thing about last night's session had nothing to do with me. It had everything to do with the size of the prize pool of the one MTT-R NLHE I entered. At a whopping $27,796,500, it was the biggest prize pool of any MTT-R NLHE I've ever entered. There were 27 money places; first place paid an eye-popping $5,995,500. I missed the money, more's the pity, and by a country mile.
