Monday July 2nd
… well I have finally picked my chin up enough to finish this blog entry.
I never won a hand on day 2 and had a succession of bad situations. Eventually I busted just 3 from the money. The $22,000 would have made the bankroll a lot healthier to put it mildly. I wasn’t really playing for a minor placing though. I was much more interested in the serious money at the final table.
I am desperately disappointed to have built a good chip stack in so many competitions in this year’s WSOP. I feel somewhere I should converted one of this into a final table. My finishing is usually quite good given the opportunity, so in many ways it is a surprising disappointment.

Well that’s about it for this years WSOP. I wont be playing again before the main event, where I am playing on day 1a. The $1000 mega satellites are tempting but I’m not really in the mood for the chaos of the Rio before the main event.
Another disappointment has been the loss of a friend in Brian Wilson who has fallen foul of the gambling sickness and taken advantage of the good nature of his friends.
However, on the bright side, it’s been sunny every day, no sign of floods. I have been working out every day and I am fitter and healthier than I’ve been since I left school. I can’t quite nail a date with a Lacey Jones or any other similarly attractive Vegas female but I guess there’s time yet! Despite all the trauma, I have enjoyed the trip. As I said earlier…this is Vegas baby!
quality bumpage sir, a salient reminder for all those who may be unaware of some plain facts.
