Vegas baby 4th - 6th

Met Matt674 blondite in manchester for the 20rebuy in circus, ahem although it ended up being a 50 rebuy. Got to 3 tables and busted with jacks on the button to big blinds aces eek what gave him the right to take me out lol Matt ended up winning it :) go baby

Flight was actually really nice coming over, however didn't know that the flight you get from manchester actually calls in glasgow first to pick up and then str8 to vegas, but I got a seat all on my own so could grab 3 hours kip

Got to excalibur about 3pm and decided to play 1/3 nl, absolutely hilarious table , great fun, many pissed up players ended up $245 for the session so was impressed. Finished about 2am and had breakfast and longest sleep ever in vegas 7 hours :)

6th Met Neil Channing in the Wynn 12noon tourney which is a $300+ 30 with 3000 chips and a 45min clock throughout. Normally gets about 80 runners according to a friendly local and also ran into riverdave penly who busted out just before my 10s all in bet ran into k 10 eek

Neil ended up winning tourney with me railing ;) but whilst he was playing was also playing 2/5nl holdem cash game and ended up $150 up for a 90min session so going in right direction

We went from Wynn to Rio to play satellites and Neil said he was gonna play the 11pm tourney as was ok with about 100 runners normally

$225 later and only 1000 starting chips on a 30min clock eek. I started at level 2 because I was an alternate player. The best news is both me and neil got to final table . Neil went out 8th and I ended up doing a 4 way chop getting about $4200 and got an ITIN number woohoo

Bring it on ;) That means I can now play a few more satellites to win more seats

Ladies event on sunday 12noon vegas time, god knows what time that is over there, lost all track of days, times yada yada

Ahwell starting good so far, I think cardplayer.com has the results of the tourney but it was event 89 of wsop.

Funny thing was the chap in seat3 asked if i wanted to be flown over the grand canyon as he has a pilots licence. How cool is that ;) ah well haven't said yes or no hehe

Only had 1 whineing old git at my table and that was at the wynn, and neil bless him took him out for me after his outdraw with k10 v my 10's :)

More blogging later, now need much sleep
