Its July 4th, my final night in Vegas, and instead of lining the neon signed streets to watch the Independance Day firework shows, Im sat in a poker room, drunk and waiting for the $80 freezeout to start.
We had been on the drink most of the day and after a few games of beerpong, meeting up with the majority of Puntersloungers over in Vegas and sinking 1 or 2 too many beers im in the mood for a game of poker, so off we stumble (its 7pm lol) to Planet Hollywood at the south end of the strip. My game in Vegas this year has been good, just a lack of luck prevented me from making some great money in the tourneys id played in, fingers crossed for my last vegas game!
We end up just missing the start of the tourney and have to come in as alternates, and find that they create a new table for us, and im sat next to 4 of my good friends, which is never good cos you hope that we'll all meet at the final table instead, but im getting such good cards and i have to play to break my cashing jinx!
AA (3 times) KK (twice) QQ (4 times) and AK( too many to count) ensured i would get to the final table and make some well earned money!.....unfortunately taking 4 of my mates out along the way!
The majority of the tourney is a blur for me as we continued drinking on through the levels, however when i made the money, i let out a big cheer and had my mates in stitches cos i was over the bloody moon and making a tit out of myself lol.
We get 3 out and im sat with a mexican dude who dosent speak much english and James Eccles a scotchman who dosent speak much english either hahaha, who i know from back on the UK scene. I have 75% of the chips in play and its getting late....i cant be bothered to play it out and offer the deal to the other two lads as we approach a 20min break. They both agree and we all go home with $800...10x our buy in!
Then it sinks in......ive won in vegas and unfortunately i have to go home tomorrow!!!! noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
