Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

A peripheral inspection suggests none of the players on Table Tikay are wearing shades and 4/8 are wearing baseball caps, of which two are facing the wrong way. One of the hatless players is tiptapping away on their iPad.

I'd venture tikay is upper quartile on his table in terms of live poker experience.

Andy Black arrives to give him a massage. In a Leicester City away shirt. Can't help feeling he's wandered into the wrong person's dream...

[tikay]

The plasma - if correct - suggests 723 entries so far (meaning around 100 paid) and there are 324 players remaining.

Am a bit behind average with 14,000, but not in terrible shape.

That was somewhat surreal when Andy Black came across and massaged me......

On Table Selbst, the eponymous Vanessa is sitting to the left of a man who is wearing what I expect is the bare minimum in clothing: a vest top with the thinnest shoulder straps seen outside of Ann Summers. Plus the obligatory ironic baseball cap and reflective shades as accessories. It's a real "sun's out guns out" ensemble. If only we weren't indoors in 17 degree air con...

He looks like he could bench me though, so I'm going to say he carries it off.

Selbst is now out. Missed the hand. Sorry. Too busy Gokking

That's a much nicer thing to say than the response I got from a friend back home:

 "Just don't do anything stupid."

(I might have form...)

90 minute dinner break, 16,500, coming back to 250-500.

[Marky_Crash]

Hope you are safely through to the break Tikay! The field is thinning fast.

Fading here, almost 2am and have to be up early. Look forward to reading the updates in the morning and hope your still in there swinging. GL

[Mohican]

Keep up the good work Tikay.

90 minute dinner break, 16,500, coming back to 250-500.

Vital stats:

288/769 remain so far. You can still enter, as a man in a hat and long hair I seem to recognise from a few years ago has just sat down. Clue: unable to walk on water and now in my fantasy team.

Start again in 5 mins.

[tikay]

Thanks lads.

Found.......

 

I open to 1,200, one caller, shortie jams for not much more, we both call.

I bet the lflop of......

 

The other caller gets out of the way, and the turn is the gin 8.

19,000 @ 250-500

[tikay]

Level 7 complete, was largely in the Doldrums, with nothing playable, but found 2 spots and ended with 19,000.

Blinds now 300-600.

234 remain, and the cry of "seat open" is becoming ever more frequent,

3 levels play remain today, and it wont be far off the money at close of play.

[MereNovice]

Keep going.

[Mohican]

Home from my night shift and pleased to see you're still going.

[tikay]

Thanks Vince, Carl.

As level 8 approaches the end, & the last break of the day, I just had a bit of bad, and though it was only a surface wound, it was so nearly busto time.

Shortie shoves for 1,500 (@300-600) and I isolate with the O8-tastic.....

 

Geezer round the back thinks for ever then folds.

My man also has an O8 hand......

 

The flop was gorgeous.....

 

The turn was the inevitable K, and I could not find a club on river.

Not much damage, but I got lucky really, as the dwell folder had K-K, and would have busted me.
