Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

1 hour dinner break, 26 left, 15 paid, and I will return after dinner with 20 Bigs.

These 2 blondes just spotted in Golden Nugget.

Can anyone name them both?

The one on the right is DCFCSimon, not sure on the other chap.

That's one correct, Neil.

Off we go.

Of the Brits I recognise.......

Pokerplayingfarmer 130,000 (absolute gent, fetched me a chair and everything)

Jerome Bradpiece 120,000

Pete Chara, 100,000.

And me, tail end Charlie, as per, 48,000.

Blinds are 1,200-2,400.

[tikay]

Pete Chara has been given a one orbit penalty in ridiculous circumstances. The TD here is a bit of a homer, I fancy.

Just hit bottom set on a higgly piggly board and slow played it hoping someone would take off with 2 pair. They did, but the board was straighty now. Anyway, clenched my arse cheeks and made the call, and we were good.

70,000 @ 1,500-3,000.

Don't think there has been an exit since dinner break (1.5 levels) so I am treading water really. Still in though, with 23 Bigs, so no need to push the panic button yet awhile.

[I KNOW IT]

Good luck Tony

Always enjoy reading your Vegas updates

Thanks Craig, only right that the long suffering stakers at least get an update for their "investment".

Sadly, we have just lost Pete Charalambous,who I think you would know from back in the day.

2 levels complete since dinner, and we have lost just 2 players,so 24 still remain.

It has really tightened up now.

22 left, we have 15 Bigs.

Welcome to my comfort zone.

[tikay]

Make that 21 left.

Button raised from my 15 Big stack, and decided I would not be folding if someone came over the top.

I had 

The Big Blind did exactly that, and we quickly called.

He had  X X

The door card was a beautiful ace, BOOMIO, the next card was the case K.

BUSTO, 20th place.

After such a bad start, was pretty pleased with how I fought back and gave ourselves a good shot at it, though that case K made my eyes water.

Next up, the $1,500 WSOP PLO tomorrow.

Thanks for the rail.

Unlucky Tikay. Another night tonight means I'll be able to rail the next one too. BTW do you think you could find out how Mr F.O.S.  gets on?  Be interesting to see how he fared.
Time for some z's.

He was still in when I departed, but he was not caked up, and had been sitting very quietly since the dinner break.

He was deffo FOS, and he was hitting the board outrageously, but I'm not sure I gave him enough credit early doors for having a really expansive game, he certainly knew how to put pressure on players in a hand, and I think he probably had a really good grasp of odds.

No idea of has name, but he came from Indiana. Could easily have been Mr Jones.

Best to keep your powder dry for the WSOP.

Yes. Bracelet hunting starts tomorrow, Mr K. VBOL.

For Karabiner's benefit, I won a flip, did a grind and have bagged 61,200 for Thursday's day 2. Nice to do it off one bullet. Will be going back to 1k/2k/300. Plenty chips.

Comp prize pool likely to bust a million, for those who are contemplating playing it.
