The decision not to shoot over to the Rio this morning proved correct... by the time I'd had a shower, the tourney was over. Flushy finished second to Sammy Farha.
Over breakfast I decided that I would head down to the Las Vegas Outlet Center, a trip I have been intending to make each time I've been here. So after a liesurely breakfast I was strolling towards the casino door when clearly I was spotted by the poker room manager... "Today's 10.00 am $40 freezout tournament starting in 20 mins, register now," was the message over the tannoy.
Now having once cracked the old $22 1k chip half Limit/half NL tournament, obviously I couldn't resist the challenge of taking on the locals in this new format. As usual there was some truly astonishing poker on show... but I was able to pick my way through the field and got heads-up with a 1:2 chip deficit. To my suprise he agreed to my rather tongue in cheek offer to chop and we both took $455 less $15 each left for the dealers. That clears yesterday's debacle from balance sheet... onwards and upwards.
Gonna get some lunch and chill for an hour or two then go and have a look at Aria, the new place next to Bellagio, and play their 7.00 pm $120 F/out.
Tomorrow will be WSOP Event #30 $1500 NLHE starting at noon... unless of course, I happen to be leaving the Gold Coast just before 10.00!!!!
