Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

We take a small pot to go up to 9,100.

The fella I have been clashing with repeatedly has two WSOP bracelets in Mixed Games. No idea of his name, mind.

[Doobs]

Go team Blonde.

[tikay]

Thanks David.

It appears that chap's name is Paul Volpe, hence the "V" on his hatty thing.

[RED-DOG]

Go on Tone, 'old to 'er.

[tikay]

Lost a small one to go down to 7,000.

Might just have to fire up the afterburners shortly.

[tikay]

Go on Tone, 'old to 'er.

Thanks Tom, back up to 9,500 now.

The table texture has changed enormously, they are all punting now.

Might well join them soon.

[tikay]

We get it all-in and are in great shape, nut low draw, wheel draw and flush draw.

My man has top two.

I turn the wheel and the flush, but the bugger fills up on the river. Chop chop.

Bugger.

Level 7 is over, and an amazing 90 players busted in that one level.

300-600 now, and we have 15 Bigs.

We will be posting for stacks very soon. Exciting.

Facing a limp and a pot bet, we reraise with:

 

We get accommodated.

Board runs out:

    

That's how to hit the board.

SCOOPIO

15,500 @ 300-600, which is 25 Bigs.

Now I have to try and keep this momentum going, instead of easing off.

Loving these updates Tikay, good luck today and for the rest of Vegas.

Thank you bud, very kind of you.

Level 8 concluded, so last break of the day, and we have two levels left today.

63 players departed in that level, leaving 243 of us.

We ended that level with 15,500, so just shy of 20 Bigs.

Will need to get some traction before play ends.

[tikay]

Bugger, my table has broken, shame, as I knew who was doing what.

On the plus side, we have seat 4 now, so at least I can see the board better.

[tikay]

Limper in early position, I make it 3,000 and he calls.

I miss the flop completely, but if I were first to act I'd probably bet out.

He bet out and I had to fold as I had completely whiffed the flop.

That knocks me back to 10,000, which is 12 Bigs.

I would deffo have got it in if he had re-potted it pre, or I was first to act. Fancy I got outplayed there.

Anyway, we can gamble now. I wanted to gamble there but it just played out so awkwardly.

[RED-DOG]

I hate it when that happens. You want to go shit or bust but you just end up wearing slightly soiled keks.
