Default Blackstone is dominating a freeroll

I was just searching around PokerStars around 11PM and was looking at the longest running freeroll to see where it was, then I saw BlackstoneV1 atop the list of 22 players left. I had to do a double take, and yep, there he was, 3rd out of 22, with top 9 winning entry into a $500 freeroll. I watched him for a few minutes, cheered him on, and I think that helped, because he started getting great cards. He got 44, hit his set on the flop and knocked out a player, winning a large pot. He then stole a big pot, putting him in over 1 million chips and in 1st place. Then he got 99, hit his set again on the flop and knocked out a player with JJ, putting him at over 1.5 million in chips. Currently, he is in 1st place out of 15. He has been playing for over 5 hours with 6000 entrants. Cheer him on if you see this in time. Great job Blackstone!

Heh. I was just looking at that freeroll, noticed Blackstone's name, then realized that I forgot about this place. I have no clue what my old username was, but, whatever.

He's still at the top with 12 people left, and the 5th break just ended. He's chip leader with approximately 19,300,000 left in chips. Good luck, Black, keep truckin'.

He's heads-up!!!! though at a severe disadvantage. He has about 1 million, his opponent has about 7 million.

Great job Blackstone, 2nd place out of 6000 is awesome. As I was looking at the list of finishers, I was thinking, is really anything worse than finishing in 10th place in this tournament? The 10th place finisher probably played 5 1/2 hours just to come up one spot short of the only prize. Man, that just sucks.

Great Job Blackstone. Its good to see a current "BayStater" Doing well. And not just any tourny but a Freeroll at that. And a 6000 entry field. WOW!!! Must of been alot of patience on your part in the beginning watching all those crazies toss thier chips around. Way to go.
