Taxi!... and straight over to the Bellagio (again) for a second shot at their daily $1,000 event. I made the last four tables in good shape but got into a bit of a mess when I picked up a flush draw whilst out there on a random blind steal with a Qh-6h. The SB check raised me all-in with two pair and I got to take my medicine. Not very tasty.
I got to witness a pretty freaky hand whilst grinding out my refund for the comp in the $2-5NL game; a friendly table, it was on their backs after the all diamond A-K-Q flop. The hands were A-A and A-K. The dealer put a Jd followed by a 10d out there and they got to chop.

Finds K-K, raises, short stack pushes with A-J and hits.
Next hand Carlo finds K-K again, raises and the same short stack pushes in again, this time he has 7-7 and hits trips.
Very next and last hand Carlo finds the K-K again, raises and the same guy pushes his stack in again with 10-10 and hits the 10. Now that’s gotta hurt.

Overall I’d say I’m not playing great, yet, the no.1 culprit is patience and given the long levels some adjustments are needed.
