the Venetian $1100 three point five million dollar guaranteed flight 1d when
to register saw buddy walk and towards me to inform me that there's four
hundred and fifty alternates 120 of them have been seated so there's three
hundred people ahead of me so if I registered now I'd have to wait for
three hundred people to lose doesn't sound like fun and I'd be coming in with
about twenty blinds eleven hundred dollars wasn't excited to play her to
begin with so we are out of the Venetian going with Plan B the win five fifty one
hundred K one day if I bust that I will be going to the Rio to play the dailies
that's right I love poker maybe it just wasn't meant to be at the Venetian so
let's go to the way
we have arrived at the win a slash on Corps property to play the five hundred
and fifty dollar $100,000 guaranteed definitely my home casino where I'm most
comfortable so not too upset that I had to leave the Venetian we're gonna hop
right in the action with about 75 blinds one-day event let's get this trophy and
about 1415 hours it's gonna feel great let's get it
with blinds at 300 600 600 I'm under the gun with the pocket sixes I've been
sitting down for just over an hour and I've played zero hands that's right zero
hands no flops no raises just folding Jack three nine three do seven all those
beauties easy game we pick up six is under the gun we men raised to 1200
everybody folds but the big blind the flop comes king nine seven rainbow he
checks we bet fifteen hundred and he calls at this point I'm putting him on 7
X 9 X King X or a whole lot of straight draws 10 8 off Queen Jack Jack 10 Queen
10 all those are valid hands that he's going to defend and call won or possible
more bets when the turn brings an off suit for he
checks again and it's time to imply so we've got 3,500 with 8,000 behind and he
puts in the call that's a problem let's pray he still got a draw the river
bricks and our sixes are good the river is a five so eight six did get there but
not too worried about turn right onto Hotel Rio Drive
a checks recheck and he shows king ten suited guess he wasn't gonna fold to the
river jam
the blinds at 400 800 800 action folds us in the cutoff at East 3 offsuit a
pretty marginal shove but it should be profitable in this spot with two
thousand in the middle we shove the button calls and he shows Ace King off
suit the board comes out nine six seven the turn is a six you know we're gonna
chop no we're not it's a seven or eight on the river
no chop no law of no luck at the wind it's four o'clock so we're gonna max
late Ridge at the Rio World Series of Poker deep stack $250 buy-in three
properties in one day let's find some run good somewhere
with blinds at 400 800 for 180 under the gun plus two limps we have 20 thousand
ships and we look down pocket aces that's right the best starting hand in
No Limit Hold'em I love aces so you make it 2500 everybody folds but the limper
the flop comes Queen Jack six he checks we bet three thousand and he calls
two diamonds on the clock turn is a five of diamonds completing the flush we do
not have a diamond he checks and we check the river is a six and he leaves
out 7500 is he betting his queen did he mess with 910 or does he just hit a
flush or trips got a gamble in these dailies so we put in the call our hand
is under upped after checking the turn and he shows king 10 of diamonds table
is astonished at what a nice hand he made and what a big draw he had on the
flop and we have 8,000 chips with blinds at four hundred eight hundred there's a
limp under the gun from chip leader at the table with 100k action folds to the
hi jack who raises to 2500 I'm next to act with pocket fives and 10,000 chips
probably should fold this but we're here to gamble we're all in under the gun
limp or snap calls the all-in as well as the original raiser so over three ways
with over 30,000 in the pot flop comes ace ace six check check
turn is a nine under the gun bets 5k other guy folds
under the gun throws one card high in the air so it
almost falls off the table and it is an ace so it's not dead unfortunately but
it doesn't really matter because the other card is an ace the table is
jubilant and euphoric upon seeing the flopped quads of course my fives are
drawing dead and I'm out of the 260 there 250 daily before p.m. daily
started 1 hour ago my buddy is still in the 1 p.m. so we're gonna light reg that
see if we can boss three tournaments in one day never give up
with blinds at 100 200 200 big blind aunty I'm under the gun with pocket tens
I make it 600 action player calls in middle position who hasn't folded
preflop yet and the blinds call flop comes ace jack 10 to clubs one heart I
bet 1200 action player calls and the blinds fold turn is the six of hearts I
think if I check he's gonna bet almost 100% so we check it to him I'm setting
up the check raise on this wet double flush draw board
he's never folding an ace or a parent straight draw so let's let him embed it
I check and he checks the river is an Ace of Hearts a beautiful card he
definitely would have bet any two pair ace combos so about 3000 and snap jams
and I call he shows King six Hertz King King five of Hearts he had a flush and
we double up to 30,000 around first break
with blinds at 400 800 800 an Asian male age 21 to 60 rises up to 2200 I'm in the
big blind Queen 10 ah so I defend the flop comes Jack 9 5 2 diamonds great
flop for me but probably good for him too we check he bets very small on such
a wet board 1500 my gut tells me to check raise but for some reason I think
call is fine with the over card and nut straight draw you definitely trap them
if we get their turn is not suit for we check and he bets 4400 we're not getting
the best price to chase our draw but I think we can wrap the flush draw if it
hits the river and possibly a jack so we called the river is a jack so if I did
have a jack here I probably would lead out and play out of flow because I don't
want him to check back any of his two pair of soybeans that way he can also
both catch and call with his two pair type hands or just fold them either way
it's fine so I lead out eight thousands and he
goes deep into the tank he has about 30,000 behind and eventually he puts in
the call
I show my hand he thinks for five seconds or so and then reveals six four
of Hearts for bad two pair and looks at me and says eight thousand you bet more
I fold you bet more I fold oh really is that
what you do I didn't say anything I just stared at him and he continued with his
victory speech and said I knew you had Queen ten I put you on Queen ten really
stroking his ego I remained silent and just gave him the death stare as he
dragged the pot and felt very proud about his gambling addiction finally
paying off shoutout to him for now on break with about ten blinds my buddies
deep in the two fifty-one pm so even if I lose this shortly which is very likely
I can rail him to victory hanging around the Rio and make his trip to Vegas a
very pleasant experience so good luck to Derek
usually I'll talk shit back to them until they shut up and stop chirping but
in this case I remain silent and I regret it never gonna happen again I'm
never gonna take the high road again and just let them feel good about themselves
of course after I lose the Queen ten hand I fold every hand for 90 minutes
blinding off all the way down to 8,000 before it gets folded to me and the cut
off at 1,500 1,500 1,500 ten six offsuit hopefully I can get a shot through
button immediately calls my shove with King Jack of course I don't suck out and
I'm out of the daily 200 pretty tilting and of course 21 to 6 year old asian guy
goes on a heater and is just having the time of his life all I sit there and
fold that is the pain of tournament poker the opposite of that is when
you're winning every pie having a good time and you're in the zone hopefully I
can learn from this experience and do better tomorrow they'll be playing the
