No, I have been too tired to do it, I started it and with everything that went down, it took me an hour just to write up the first 24 hours. Might work on it a little more today....

Instead of doing a timeline, I am going to sum it up in two pictures and one statement.

Attachment 440

Attachment 441


Besides the fun above, I also had the opportunity to meet Stanley Bavlish(winner of the DRF/NTRA Handicapping Championship). He was just sitting in the Bally's Sportsbook and I recognized the stash, went up to him, and straight chilled with him for like an hour and bs'ed. He did cost me about 3k when a Roussel horse went off at 4/1 at Arlington and won, and I was putting 500 WP on horses like crazy on Sunday and would have done that also. He was absolutely hilarious, dropping f bombs like crazy and talking about strippers.

It looks as if you had a blast. Not that you can experience anything other than a blast while in Vegas... How did you fare in your poker venture?

I lasted 7 hours....Here is the kicker. I sit down at my table and start playing, there were two open seats. NONE OTHER THEN YOUNG ****ING PHAN was one of them. My heart ended up at my ankles. I took a pot off him though so that was awesome. I also knocked out Steve Meyung(?). At the time I didn't know he was a pro and once he got knocked out, I walked over to my friends and they were like "You realize you just knocked out a pro"

All in all, it was a great experience, I was playing on 45 minutes of sleep though, not the smartest thing in the world.

I got my TT cracked by JJ which is what cost me, I was stacked up for a while and that hand really f'd me

Sounds awesome. I don't know what I would do if I were to be seated next to a pro. Had to be a very surreal feeling for ya. Great story, hopefully next year you can cash at one of these events. My ultimate goal is to make it out there by 2010, with enough loot to enter two events. ALL IN..lol Again, awesome stuff.

The first pic looks like you are on a couch in the back of a red pick up truck.

Is that a Shirley Temple in the second pic?

I checked raise Phan for the hell of it with Rags and he folded, after I dragged the hand I say "I can tell the world I took a hand off of Young Phan"

Everyone laughed and he had this look like I am going to smoke you.....

Talking
How dare you take advantage of Phan's air-tight play??
At first I thought you were talking about Kido Phan or Pham? He fires away. My style of play.
