Yesterday was a very, very long but slightly profitable day. I went over to the Rio to sign up for their 3:00 PM, $235 deep stack tournament but when I got to the window there was a note that said it wouldn't start until 6:00 PM. I signed up and sat down at the table about 6:03. It was one of those nights where everything worked like it was supposed to accept for 1 hand.
Blinds start at 25/50, 30 min. rounds and 15K starting stack. I doubled up early on an Ace high straight against 2 pair and seemed to win every race afteright that. 1530 started. My small pairs were holding and my AK, AQ's and big pairs were winning. I had a huge stack 400K very late in the tournament (Money bubble was 171 and we were at 88 when I looke down at KK with 2 all ins in front of me. I had them both well covered so shoved also. Player 1 turns over AQ and player 2 turns A10 neither suited. I was thrilled they both had Aces until the flop when an Ace fell for a two outer win and knocked me down to about 150K. I couldn't recover and ended up 57th. Played for 10 hours.
Will play again this afternoon after a much needed sleep or maybe play in the Venetian $300 Black chip bounty at 6. The Venetian has really changed their attitude towards poker players and the room is no longer as poker friendly as it has been in the past. Stay Tuned!!!!
