Id also like to be the first to send my condolences. Jack was disqualified for not betting enough in the final race by 200 dollars. Although he won the contest by 11000 dollars, he recieves no prize money, and no vegas trip.

He left about 18000 on the table

Yeah, but you got about half that in your back pocket that you can let him hold for a little bit.

If a minivan is seen pulled off to the side of a bridge between Keeneland and Tennesee (with 3 baby seats in the back)... Somebody stop and tell him not to jump.

It was a live bankroll of 2k and you say he won the contest by 11k? So he took home AT LEAST 9k home. I would say thats a good day.

He had a great day but missed out on an additional 16k and a trip to the NHC b/c of the DQ. That's a very tough beat.
