DAY SEVEN

Woke up at 1130 after 2 hours 34 minutes sleep and felt really fresh and raring to go. Headed to the Rio with Stato who was playing the $1500. Again I had planned for a day of cash, but since the queue was surprisingly short for 12pm on a Saturday $1500 WS event, I decided to play it, and sold 30% to reduce variance as I'd had a rough couple of days.

Nothing interesting to report really, busted just after dinner. Then grinded 2/5 for a bit but quit after a few hours to join the Barny Army on the rail of Barney Boatmans $1500 FT.

Was so much fun. I don't know Barney at all, but have a sense of the history of him and his brother, the HM and their importance in the UK poker history books. Seeing how close him and his brother are, and what it meant to them was really quite something and great to be a part of.

The chants, songs and banter of the UK rail was incred, and his opponents rail was just so pitiful in comparison. Americans just don't understand the concept of banter.

Anyway, that was by far the highlight of the day.

DAY EIGHT

The end of the first full week. Played my third bracelet event of the week, and again, was uneventful. 3k starting stack doesn't leave much room for error, and I made a marginal jam for 20bbs effective with 99 over a limp and a 4x iso. Then lost the rest AK<99.

Jumped straight into the 3pm deepstack with 50bbs, and they went in with AK against a very optimistic 88, which held up.

I was considering a third live tournament of the day (would've been new record) but decided to go and chill by the pool for a bit and have a nap before an evening session.

Nick and I got a taxi to Aria and got some food then head the table games while we waited for a seat on cash. Famous last words...

6 hours and a lot of drink and about $700 later we'd found Trigg and he taught me how to play craps. Was sooo fun! Brilliant game. And I got out of the hole, was even winning a few hundred! Boom! Decided that getting out of it was a good result so quit and went to play cash.

Waiting lists were 30+ deep for all games and it was only midnight so too early to go home....BACK TO THE CRAPS TABLE THEN...

Anddddd gg $1k.

SHIT.

Results for week one

Tournaments: $8090 profit in 40 hours
Cash: $570 profit in 24 hours
Table games: ~$1.5k down
Flips/CCR: Running about on EV I think.

Mitch has amazingly won 8/8 sessions, and was up bang on $10k this morning.
Stato is down for the trip overall.
Keith lost every session until the last two days, he won two $18k pots tonight apparently. Going to assume that he's close to even but could be wrong. He says that there's no holdem games bigger than 10/20/40 anywhere in Vegas. It's all about omaha, mixed games and OFC at the momemt.

I've had 4 4figure losing days on the bounce now. WHENWILLITEND Cheesy

<3 Vegas though

He's pretty degen so I think the most likely outcome is that the OFC game he was in was amazing and he's just stayed playing that for 8 hours. But I hope it's more exciting. All night bender with Mitch, winning $20k, doing it all in a strip club, getting arrested and stato uses countdown tekkers to outsmart the police and escape.

Think he has been crushing.

Told me he had only pulled up $8,000, & he has run it up to this much.
