So I sat down at 4:00 pm to play a game of online poker.

$11.00 entry fee for 3,000 chips.  2,907 players in an elimination tournament, which means the later you get eliminated, the more of the prize pool you win.

9 hours and 40 minutes later (yes, 1:40 am) one guy was standing with over 17,000,000 chips.

Me.

I won $15,227.90.

Good, because I have medical bills.
