Made the trip to Vegas with my Buddy, Rodney (coach) Shows Played in the $1500 and the $1000 event, Went HOURS in both but no cash, Played the Venitian Deep Stack, 568 Players, Cashed and went out in about 48 place, AJ to J9, Guy caught a 9 on the turn, and ended my tourney, Was short stacked and The guy called because he had a lot of chips, and got lucky.
In the $1000 event went deep, I think around 250 out of over 2000 players, Had a good chip stack, About 2 times average, Had 67 spades in the big blind, 3-4 limpers and I checked, Flop came 5s-6s Qh, I checked and the guy to my right bet about half the pot, everyone folded and I called, Turn was the 8 (no spade) I bet half the pot and the guy went all in, I called with the nuts (which took most of my tack) He had QQ for a set of Queens, River was a 8, DAMN, Paired the board and lost most ofmy chips, That one hurt REAL BAD, This paid $661,000.00 to win.
Oh well on to Tunica in July for the World Poker Open.
See Yall there,
Danny
