Heading home

Just passed Mesquite driving home and I'm bored and Jason won't let me sleep so I'm blogging. Yesterday, the entire group played the morning Sahara tournament. Its funny because at a point a table had Jason, Rich, Scott, Eric L, and Gary. Might as well have been Bob's basement. I was able to control my table early as I had two sweet ladies sitting to my left that didn't mind sharing their blinds. I chipped up early with little confrontation. After the first break I was table chip leader/captain and was fortunate enough to run AA into KK against 2nd chips. I avoided danger for the most part. As final table bubble was nearing, I was ave stack. At this point there is a lot of push poker going on. With 11 left, I had to make a hero call on a 2 8 J board holding 8 9 when I was check raised on the flop. It was for my tourney life. I put him on complete air called to knock him
out and made final table. Jason was the only other person to make final table out of the group. He finished 9th basically winning his money back. I went on and chopped it 4 ways.

I didn't play any poker after that. We went to the Steve Wyrick magic show at Planet Hollywood and ate at cheeseburger paradise. We spent the rest of the time gambling and drinking. I don't think we got to bed until 5am after we dropped off Rich at the airport. Side noted: Rich is a CAP paigow poker player. I think the only still in Vegas is John A who was entering another WSOP event. Hope you are doing well buddy!

Overall it was a great time. If anyone wants to join me ill be doing this again in 3 weeks. Only disappoint was I didn't make it to the Rhino. I had to settle for the PCD lounge at Caesars. Katie, next time you have no choice :). If somehow Jason's uncle reads this, I wanted to say thanks again for your generosity and hospitality. You and Janet are awesome! Until the next adventures of TK, may all your stacks be mine and see you on the felt!
