I'm out - shoved after

I'm out - shoved after a small raise from the button when I was in the BB with A8 off. Original raiser folded but the jackhole from the small blind called 1000 more with 6-8 spades.JJ7 on flop. 6 on turn - blank on river. Tough game.

Just escaped the blinds because they broke my table. Still at 1550 in ready to shove mode. Give me cards!

Ouch. Two pair (10 & 5s - don't ask) vs trip 7s and now I!m down to 1450. Time to shove.

I took the last pot before break against Hachem. Scary board and we checked it down. My queen high was good and I'm back to 4050

10 minutes till break. Down to 3450 mainly from the blinds. Sux.

I'm back down to about

I'm back down to about 4800 and blinds are up. No cards. I think Joe Hachem's brother is in seat 7 and he's uber-aggressive.

1st hand I'm in the

1st hand I'm in the small blind with Ace 9 of clubs. Someone in late position raises to 225. I re-raised to 725 because we were playing 5-handed an it looked like a steal - he calls. Flop was 9 high with 2 clubs so I bet out (should've checked) 1300 and he reluctantly folded. I've taken 4 other pots since then and I'm at just over 6000 now. Had to show my 2nd AK on the button so people wouldn't think I'm stealing everythin. No bluffing for a while.

Daniel Negrenau

Daniel Negrenau is 4 tables over from me. Too bad he's not sitting here - I read his book on the plane.

View from Hotel this morning.

Heading out for excercise - walking the strip before I head over to the Rio.

Finally poker.

Finally poker. I just finished 1st in a three table tourney at Imperial Palace for $400. I only had to get runner-runner once when I was all-in with A-6 vs A10. I had the Ace of clubs an went all in when two clubs and an Ace hit on the flop. The Runner-Runner clubs got me to the final table. The rest of my play was solid and I capped of the night with some solid heads-up play to come from behind and win. i'm ready for WSOP.

No poker yet

Shopping in Caesar's Forumn shops. I need to find a poker table.

Our last stop for the Limo today was In-n-out burger. Now we check-in at Caesar's and get a nap.
