It was a player called LV librarian or something along those lines that knocked out Columbo

I had to chuckle at Fasso's comment on the show about Scott's strategy for the tournament, because that's EXACTLY how mine went.

Double-up, go broke, double-up, go broke. Rinse. Repeat.

I didn't feel that I played all that bad. I just got beat by marginally better hands.
