Edging the Record

Up until today I had what was basically a three way tie in terms of my "best day ever" with regards to table winnings, with the three entries falling between $2150 and $2225. Today I finally have a new champion, and though the margin is by no means huge I think it deserves to stand alone at the top.



None of the hands are terribly interesting, but I obviously ran very well. Destroying two fish at the same $600NL table didn't hurt, though neither were full stacks. One of them was running around ~45% VPIP, but c/ring every single cbet. It took me two hands to bust him, the latter of which was the biggest winner of the day:
