The World Series of Poker money piled high and you are probably wondering what in the world does this have to do with the PBR? A good question to ask.

Well they don’t have much in common except that I worked my butt off after PBR and pulled a favor or two to get THIS close to the money without the right badge… The stair guard was a bit more careful tonight than the other night.

And my camera phone is set to send the pics here than the Internet.  So until I change that.  Here is a look at more money than most people will see in their lifetime.

Oh, and the fact that the winner here and the winner at the PBR both said the same thing.  It’s not about the money… They are here for the jewelery. It’s the Bling…  The money is secondary…  Check it out “what the winners want”

Cada beat Moon in about three hours of real poker playing… It was amazing.

What a great way to end the weekend.  Two best friends who competed all year, making it to the World Finals.  Than having to be neck and neck all week right up until and counting the final ride.  With each walking away with a prize.

JB Mauney and Kody Lostroh made this year’s PBR World Finals an absolute nail biter and one for the PBR record books. They were at the top of the leader board each and every night, separated by mere points all the way through.  Even at the end of the regular round, they had to re-audit the numbers because of how close they were.  That alone was one record.

The short go-around was high anxiety as only two of the first thirteen riders made the full eight seconds.  Both were 90+ rides.  The second to last ride had JB on top of Black Pearl.  Riding him for an amazing 93.75.  The the 17,000 fans in the house went absolutely nuts.  The noise level was off the charts and not a person remained seated…  This ride made JB the only rider to ever ride all eight of his bulls in the World Finals.  Another record in the books.

As we set up for the last ride with Kody on VooDoo Child.  The crowd was still jazzed, on their feet and making more noise about JB’s ride.  It was unbelievable, the electricity and exciment in the air as the chute finally opened up. Kody gave it his usual 110% and hung on as long as he could.

That had to be the longest, slowest and most intense 7.49 seconds in PBR history.  The fans were out of control as he hit the ground.  If they could, they would have stormed the arena and put him back on for the last few moments. An amazing site to see.

In the end, JB got the win for all around average points for the year and Kody took home the big prize.  The Million Dollar check, the gold buckle and the title of PBR World Champion for 2009.

This was the most exciting, tension filled finals I had ever witnessed.  We will recap the whole event in the days to follow…  But it was amazing…  If you only watch one round of PBR on TV This year, make sure its THIS round. And invite your friends to watch with you…This is what PBR is all about.
