The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

They say New York is the city that never sleeps, having spent only a short time there I can neither confirm nor deny.
However after 10 days in Las Vegas I can confirm this is definitely the city that never sleeps.
Having witnessed at 7 AM on the Lords day a multitude of slot feeding automatons sprinkled with blackjack, craps et al degens hard at it, then the statement finally holds true.
Like Celtic I had good intentions of doing a daily diary of our exploits in sin city...but it all kind of went out of the window as we immersed ourselves in a colossal trough of poker and general degeneracy.
Having landed back safely I can reflect back and remember the times....
I’ll start with my roommates, Gavin ( Pizzled) and Vinny ( Celtic ).... Sharing a room with others can always be a possible disaster but we for the whole got on well and the general air of piss taking greased the wheels of multiple occupancy.
Fortunately the suites in the Palazzo are roomy and opulent so no complaints there... we had initially planned to stay at the Imperial Palace... I think a possible World War between us was averted judging by the size of the THForte style rooms on offer there.
So first to the pokerz.... Got off to a flyer in the first deep stack and played about as well as I ever have.. but as written previously was on the end of some horrendous play and even a big stack can’t withstand three huge beats.
Went mega deep in the second about twenty shy of the money.
Finally got a Vegas cash under my belt in 96 runner at the Aria. Aria is a magnificent new hotel twinned by the Cosmopolitan and may be tempted to stay there next time around....I believe Greeky is to stay there..let me know what it’s like there please.
Had a little bit of a Mid-Spell disaster in the deep stacks where I played the next two like a complete Donk.. one in particular where 10 minutes after sitting down I realise I really don’t want to be there when a random woman who looked like a praying mantis proceeded to get walloped around the face by the deck. After winning a large pot her vanquished foe had one 5K chip left and asked her politely for change.. she refused stating she didn’t have to.. no you don’t have to you minging munter but its called manners...GTFO .
Tilted and tired of seeing 9 2 o/s I decided to 3 bet a rock with 10 7 and not pass to the shove ( which I couldn’t as I’d already mentally and stack wise committed ) my only pleasure I got afore mentioned Munter to lay down AK.... obv the rock has AK but I sure do get there.
I got up happily with her whining about how bad people play... yup that will be me then.
Gave myself a talking to and went deep in 2 of the last 3 tourneys I played and got horribly outdrawn, the last being a 2 outer on the river to seal the trip.
Overall the poker side was a rollercoaster from playing some of the best to the worst I ever had..but overall I was happy as I didn’t run particularly good.
Received some stick over not getting a min cash American flag like most of the others but have enough flags and the boys over killed the piss take so it didn’t register any more...
Table games, Room robberies and golf stories to follow..................

US flags are the most important part of a Vegas trip, you will realise when you get one. If you get one.  |

I stayed with two others at imperial! we survived, although I actually did not sleep there any of the nights, so that may be why! Sounds like you guys had a great trip! insanely jealous right now as I look at 5 days in Edinburgh as my summer hols! |
