"I've got 1,000," reported Dave 'El Blondie' Colclough. "I haven't been over my starting stack for three hours. It's been water torture. It's ridiculous though and I can't believe they only give us 3,000 for a tournament like this. I can't wait to get back to the cash games; these tournaments are too stressful on the bankroll. You only need to lose one pot and then you can't play. I can understand it in Vegas where you have three events in a day, but not here."
