My son, Patrick called late last night and said he had been eliminated in the second round. Out of all the games he has played, he had played that particular game only four to five hours in the past. It was just a bad "luck of draw" to get that particular game. Ironically, the remaining three guys will be playing a game today that Patrick knows well and plays at a very competitive level, but they don't know how to play it. So last night, he was coaching all three on how to play the game that they will be competing on today. He was disappointed, but said he was having a blast.
Now for the good news, Thanks to all of you, Patrick received the highest number of votes, over 15,000!!!!!! He wanted us to tell everyone a big THANK YOU. He couldn't believe so many people cared about him in this competition. The judges said that they were blown away on how many more votes he received compared to the others. I believe he won the "Mr. Congenialtiy Contest" part of this event and that makes me very proud of him.
Again, I want to thank you for spending your time to help Patrick in this quest. This has been a highlight in his life to be selected and participate at this level.
See you guys in June!!!!!!!
