Get Leif ironed out, for the fans!

Get Leif ironed out, for the fans!

I'm awaiting for him.

Level 11 just started, 800-1,600.

Gave a few back in level 10, just standardi spots, and my button raises got no respect. Shocking.

58,000.

[tikay]

Been dribbling a bit, down to 49,000. Amazing how quickly we can drop back into the pack.

Level 12 (1,000-2,000) just started, dinner break after this.

Hard to tell, but there seems to be around 8 tables left.

Back above 60,000 after a scary 3 way affair where I had to make a blocker bet to ensure I could get to the river cheap with my small unconnected set,

You got all da moves.

Not enough I'm afraid, just got it all in with nut low and 2 lovely high draws, but blanked out and got quartered.

32,000 now.

Dinner break (1 hour) and we return at 1,200-2,400.

Jaffa has around 40,000.

45 players remain from 181.

Was a great spot, and am happy with how I played it.

Had......

 

I shoved on this turn......

 

The river blanked, he had A-A-2-9-9 with no flush draws.

Played itself I think.

Won't hang around too long after the break, if no progress after an orbit or two, will look for a spin spot with any decent combo hand, preferably including an ace.

JJ has a mountain of chips, as does Leif.

Really enjoyed this, though a streaming cold has put a bit of a damper on things. Been out to find a Walgreens during the break, in Vegas we are never more than a few hundred yards from a Walgreens, but could not find one. Found a CVS instead, which is pretty similar.

A live band is paying on the lower level, with the bass turned up so high that everything is vibrating in tune with the rhythm. Can't say PH would ever be my card room of choice in Vegas, but they seem to run the tourneys well, and they have a decent structure. Not sure 13 levels of re-entry makes a lot of sense, but that apart, pretty good really.

Just seen John Burberry, he is in this, too. Plenty of Brits playing.

Anyway, we are about to re-start, so best gird my loins and look for a spot.

[MereNovice]

Good luck.

Guy just potted my BB,  I had


 

Not quite enough to go to war, wait a little longer I think.

[tikay]

Found a lovely 3 way spot, turned the wheel, got it all in, one folded, other guy had the same wheel, chop chop.

[tikay]

44 left, 21 paid.

Be a pain to come up short again, but what will be will be, won't be blinding away, for sure.

[tikay]

Scoopio for a full 2xup.

63,000 @ 1,200-2,400.

39 left.

Ha, your man is caked up, as per.
