Frankly, I didn’t do a very good job of courting/attracting media attention despite my deep run in the WSOP. But here are a few links to coverage of my play:
Poker Savvy/Cardplayer Round Table
And honorable mention goes to the Hendon Mob, who reported that:
“Only five players — Andrew Brokos, Pat Dattilo, Marc Friedman, Vinod Jadav, and Stefan Mattsson — cashed in both the 2006 and 2007 Main Events. All were going for their third consecutive cash this year. However, only one player survived (and is guaranteed to cash). He is Stefan Mattsson, from Stockholm, Sweden – currently in 308th place).”
Really, 308th place? Sick run, Stefan. I’m really surprised there were only five of us who cashed in ’06 and ’07.
Also according to Hendon Mob, the record for consecutive cashes is held by Bo Sehlstedt, who cashed in 2004-2007 but failed to cash this year. C’mon, Stefan, we can take him.
Just wanted to say “Congrats” one last time. I normally don’t follow the chip counts religiously but I made an exception once you’d made the money. Incredible job!
I did my best to promote you on my site. Alas, it was hard to create an Internet stir getting less than 150 hits a day.
In any case, I’ll say that the final table would have been much more interesting with you sitting there. As it is, I’m not sure if I can bring myself to care about the November Nine hoping for fame and fortune.
Anyway, I look forward to your blog getting back to cash game play. Leave the donkaments to those unable to play the high-stakes online games.
Congrats again, Foucault.
I agree with you. You should have done more to promote yourself. Think big. Anyway, I really enjoyed following your run and was pulling for you the whole way. I look forward to reading more about your experience at the WSOP. Did you play any cash games?
I wanted to ask you an unrelated question regarding PokerSavvy. Is it true that the poker training videos can be downloaded and played on an iPod?
I’ve been looking for just such a service to help better spend my time during my commute to and from work.
I guess that by now you can hire your own personal spin doctor, so there should be plenty of opportunities for more promotion.
Well done, sir! I was a little sad to see you didn’t make it to the final table, but poker is all about the long run. And there’s always next year.
