Day 8 - Shoulda stayed in bed...
Last Updated: 2012-06-21 00:55:14
Well after the incredible day on Tuesday this was a tough one. And this will be a very short post today...
Up early, had lunch at the buffet at Aria. I liked it a lot, Joann wasn't too thrilled.
Over to the Rio, sat down at my table. I wasn't the first one out, the one guy shorter stacked than me busted out 2 hands in. I lasted only a few more.
I had just lost 1000 chips in blinds and antes. I was going to be losing another 1000 chips in a few more hands. I decided to take a stand with A-9, since we lost one we were 7 handed and it's not too likely A-9 would be no good 7 handed.
Well I was right, but unfortunately for me Mr Freddy Deeb elected to call me down with 6-7 off and hit not one but two sevens by the turn. 6 hands and I was done for the day.
I was incredibly disappointed, I knew it was going to be tough even to get to the money but if I could have just hit one hand in the first couple of rounds...and I lasted all of 15 minutes...
Over to Aria to get into the 1:00 tournament late, I bought in in round 4 knowing it would be a bit of a crapshoot getting in that late. In round #6 I got all in with 10s against A-Q suited and the lady drew out a flush.
Hung out with Joann for a couple of hours, bought into the 7:00pm. Midway through the 3rd round I flopped a set of 9s!
And ran into a set of aces.
At that point I decided enough poker for today.
By the time that was over we were hungry and had dinner at Planet Dailies in Planet Hollywood, and now we're back in the room to call it a night.
The plan for tomorrow is the HORSE tournament at the Nugget. Hopefully things will turn around there!
