Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

No side bets involving bananas on the stake please

Terrible hijack but if anyone's at the Rio, I'm in the poker kitchen area. I went to the salad counter and appear to have inadvertently ordered my own weight in salad. I'll be here for some time so come say hi.

You'll be able to find me. I'm the guy eating a salad.

That won't be possible, as Leif danced himself off the table, he lasted 5 hands.

Meanwhile, holding, in the blinds.....

 

We saw a J-Q-x flop, and Mr Shortie shoved on me.

Call, obv, he is in bad shape with 9-10-x.

49,000.

99 of 164 remain, average stack = 24,848.

Double average. Not something I have posted very often this trip.

I presume at least two spades on the flop or you're getting braver.

The perfect self-bok.

Made a really dubious call pre, then an even dubiouser call on the turn and got myself pot stuck when he shoved.

33,000.

This thing is playing incredibly fast. About 75 remain.

We did not have a spade between us. Fearless.

Level 9 complete, blinds go 600-1,200 now. The clock has increased to 45 minutes, too.

33,000.

You've now managed to moan a longer clock in too.

Just caught up. Epic last few pages. Congratulations!

Plans for a long honeymoon doing more wildlife and nature stuff?

I think you can sort out a good wedding photographer!

Every time they call out "we've lost one in the  super seniors" a ripple of panic runs through the Amazon room


15 left in the Extended Play event (which Barny points out is "going on longer than The Mousetrap").

Level 10 complete, have stabilised, 34,000 with blinds going 800-1,600.

Amazing how one misplayed hand can change a whole tournament. Will need to press soon.

Think there are around 68 left.

Very good.

Currently on 1 hour dinner break.

Level 11 was harem scarem, got back to 50,000, then back down to 20,000, currently 31,000. That will be just 15 bigs upon resumption, so won't be hanging around. The structure is deceptively fast for a  2 day jobbie.

Just 54 of the original 164 remain.

Tally ho and all that.

[Chompy]

OMG! See what Leif done to that banana!?

Early busto = more time to watch the sunset though.

[tikay]

Becalmed.

9 players went bust in the first 20 minutes of this level.

45 left.
