be your own bank Vegas Li was smokin of one of those prominent companies in the
space and in fact I remember when I first heard that slogan yeah
the windfall classic $400 event $50,000 guaranteed it's a one-day event 15,000
starting stack we're arriving at 1:00 p.m. let's stay focused today run up a
big stack abuse the bubble use our chip lead at the final table deny all chops
and take down first place that's the goal let's make it happen there's no
reason we can't win
first break 12500 chips have won one pot we're at radius between ten suited got
three calls the flop came East ace six I see bets small and they all folded tried
to set mine a couple times was unsuccessful and made some more tight
folds makes me really realize that this really is a marathon not a sprint
it's an endurance challenge got to stay composed tight is right
with blinds at 200 400 400 to the first hand back from break big blinds sitting
out and to where people are missing so I raise it up with East 9 offsuit and
middle position button calls and small blind calls small blinds an 80 year old
Caucasian man flop comes ace king 7 two hearts one diamond I see about 1,500
button folds small blind 80 year-old puts in the quick min checker haste to
3,000 what's the repin pocket sevens a7 King 7 suited I don't know but I'm not
ready to fold yet so I put in the call turns a 10 of diamonds boards very wet a
lot beats us and he checks so I checked behind thought about betting for value
but see what happens on the river the river is the ace of spades and he bets
5000 one of the best rivers for us what do you guys think should I put in the
call is he ever bluffin here sometimes you
just gotta throw logical out the window and put in the call I call and he shows
king queen off suit value bet Bluff not sure and we now have 23 thousand
ships
with blinds at 200 500 - 500 there's an open seat on my right which gets filled
by an african-american gentleman wearing gym shorts a hoodie on top of his head
a Rolex a bracelet with diamonds and he's on his phone for the next 30
minutes never posting is blind and never paying
attention to the action other than cursing his bad luck when he doesn't get
a playable hand the man on my right looks familiar and when he talks his
voice has a familiar country grammar to it although it's 70 degrees outside in
the Encore it's getting hot in here that's right
none other than Nelly is sitting to my right
we have a few small words regarding his unlucky streak in poker and he
eventually busts with the flush draw I asked for a selfie and he declines onde
no selfie for me probably not the best time but I thought it was equally bad to
ask him at the table because I could tell he was really trying to stay
low-key he didn't want a bunch of people saying Oh Nelly Nelly
that's probably why he had a hat on and his hoodie up and was just constantly
looking down at his phone and not talking to the table at all but my
favorite rapper of 1999 came and went and denied me a moment in time with a
selfie
with blinds at 500 1000 1000 middle position opens to 2500 the cutoff flat
calls I'm in the small blind with pocket fives and 17,000 at the best spot set
mine but I think we do have fold equity so let's shove it all in big blind folds
original RAZR snap calls and the flat collar says he has ace Queen and folds
original RAZR has two black tens we have two red fives let's see that red five
flop comes jack seven four all diamonds turn is an eight of Hearts and the river
is a queen of diamonds and we are out of the Encore $400 50k it's five o'clock
