4th for $2500 and change.

Bink!

I'm predicting that this is the year of the wrinkly Simon. Do you reckon you qualify?

I hope so!!

Wd on the binkage.

BOOM, well done Simon.

With around 50 left, you looked to have about 20,000 (@ 500-1,000), so you must have got a right wriggle on thereafter.

What a fun tourney it was, too, best fun I've had so far this trip.

$2,500, very nice indeed, well done.

I made notes of all my significant hands yesterday, & was running along so well that I was convinced I would cash, but there is no Wifi @ Golden nugget, so the plan was to give Ralph & my interpid investors a sort of hand by hand squeeze this morning, with no result spoilers.

The photo of the Final Table, minus yours truly, however, sort of gives the game away, so I may as well reveal I exited around 50th.

Anyway, will post some of the details shortly.

A really enjoyable Tourney, for sure.

Big O (5 card PLO8) is such an interesting game, as every street changes the possibilities so significantly.

With 5 cards in our hands, we have TEN x 2 card possible hands, plus we are often playing for 2 completely separate pots, so that means we have 20 possible 2 card hands to juggle. Tremendous fun, & possibly my favourite poker format.

Still never cashed, though....

Hopefully see you Friday for the PLO8/BigO8 mix at Nugget. There is wi fi though, the details are on the reg desk.

There IS wifi there? I assumed you had to be a Guest to get the Password. Good news, thanks.

Yes, I'll be there tomorrow for the PLO8/BigO8 mix, whatever that is. Seems a very odd combination. Presumably, a round of 4 card followed by a round of 5 card? If so, how very odd.

Would have thought you had all made your way down to do some shoebombs on the rail of the O8/Stud8 final table by now...

He was otherwise engaged, discussing the concept of ice (not in a 90s gangsta rap sense)

Heisenberg sense?

I can't be certain

Tikay must have found his way back down to Glitter Gulch...

Tikay did you see George Osborne's twitter post slating Brunel for taking too long building his tunnel under the Thames.

Thank you!

Will try that, & if it works, will get some updates going.

The very rare combo of a Noon PLO8/BigO Tourney today. Not sure - well I am sure - I've ever played one of those before.

Will try & catch up with Reports, & thread replies, soonest, been up most of the night playing cash again.
