Overall, I'm delighted. The cards were kind (until they were not....) and I played far more aggressively than I usually do.

A tremendous 3 hours of poker, maybe the most enjoyable I can recall.

Wow thanks for the detail Tony , congratulations.
Awesome read and you had a real shot at final tabling or better with just a little more luck but glad you’re happy with the ride
Hopefully our paths will cross again as I’m out an extended extra week, maybe at the mgm but choices of big plo8 are somewhat limited

Good to hear you've extended, Rob, & I hope a few more deep runs come your way.

Did you see the result of our WSOP Big O? The guy that ran 2nd has exactly 4 Hendons over an 11 year period. The biggest of the first 3 was $4,268, then he earned $258,690 for 2nd yesterday. You never know in poker, do you?

I didn’t see no. But it’s more common than you think for a random to have a good run in any tournament.
On the hotel note , they cocked my reservation when they combined them and had me checking out tomorrow instead of next Wednesday
Guy on desk was brash like it was my fault (and this was in diamond check in), no apology - “you’ll have to come back when she’s working tomorrow”
Ok tomorrow morning I ask ?
“No sir shes in from 4pm”
Me - that’s not much use if I’m checking out tomorrow , is there anyone else that can sort this ?
“Yes come back at 11am and someone should be able to help” - 10:20am

So a 4th visit to the desk an hour later and it’s the same guy but he’s sorted it and was all nice and professional that time - got me grumpy for an hour lol , but finally sorted , rant over .

Utterly ridiculous. And perhaps helps explain the drop in visitors to Las Vegas as shown by Harry Reid passenger numbers from January to April this year.

Wow that’s some wild stats there.  I’ve deffo noticed less euros this trip at my tables (though Mad Turk did try to sit on my big O ticket without a seat card yesterday) but the real big one is the lack of Canadians unsurprisingly.
Overall it’s difficult to gage it generally outside of poker as to me it always seems busy in the casinos
