Looking back on it now, 8.15am was probably not the best time to be leaving Cardiff to reach Gatwick for my 11.25am flight to Vegas.
Baggage drop closed @ 10.25, and @ 10.45 i was still in the car with my driver Jon. Not looking good to be honest !
Legged it into Departures for 10.55 to find baggage well and truly closed !!!
After much begging and pleading on m part, and a lovely hostess, baggage was re-opened and a short sprint later and i was on the plane. . . .. . . .. . . .
Just booked into Hooters 'til the 6th when i move to the Wynn for some serious luxury.
In standard fashion, i believe i deserve a drink or 10, so gonna check-in..and get out.
Next post may involve some poker related goss. . ..
Until then. . .

And we"re off. Day 3 was an alcol free affair. (turning down free beers whilst playing was rather unsettling tbh) and may have had something to do with the unsuccessful evening. Played the 10pm $80 tourney in Caesars deepstack series only to be eliminated 21st outta 136 players ;(. My J 3 just couldn"t get there when after 6 limperdd, my shove was called by A J, On semi tilt and i headed to the cash tables and quickly turned my $250 into nearly $800, only for that to be quickly reduced to zero when my i couldnt pass my A 4 on a A 10 4 board. My opponent holding the obligatory A 10. Got my just desserts for being a massive fish tbh.
Today i"m off to the Rio, to try swap my day 1d seat for tomorrow, day 1c. Will probably do some serious railing followed by a nice meal and an early night. hoping to post some pics soon. those of you who have been will know the place is nothing short of spectacular .. . . ..

Right, it's been a while, so best i fill you all in. Day 2 of the M/E was going great. got to 90k by the middle of the day and was ticking along quite nicely. Went card dead for two levels which wasnt a huge issue as the blinds weren't massive. Last level of the day disaster struck. Ran my KK into AK suited all-in pre and obviously he spiked the ace. Then with 65k left and blinds 500/1000 it all went tits up. I raised with AQ clubs. Both blinds called. Flop, 4c 5c 9d. SB bets.... 11,000. I make it 29,500.. knowing im calling a shove.which duly comes. He has trip 5?s. Board bricks out. Meh, sigh. GG.
Since then i've been on a 3 day tilt bender. Though yesterday i gave up drinking pretty early as i hit a wall.. hard. Tonight is the Pokerstars party, hosted by Snoop Dogg, which attending is mandatory.. . Tomorrow i'm going to enter the Caesars Mega stack finale, whhich i'll post a link to. fab structure so hoping to do something after the disappointment in the Main Event. Deep down i'm gutted, but felt i really gave it a good shot. Hopefully Caesars will give me something to Celebrate.

GL at Caesar"s

Ok, MCarran Airport, Las Vegas. Means i"m going home at last .. . .. . . .. . and i"m devastated. Only going home to regenerate a bankroll to return here. I F***** love this place. Pokerwise, didn"t quite go to plan, got one horrible beat in the M/E @ Caesars. Numerous ridiculous outdraws on the cash tables, and as for the WSOP M/E, happy with my play, just hit a hand that could take me on, and didn"t quite get there.
Regrets . . . . ZERO
Vodkas .. . . . TWO THOUSAND
Bank. . . . . . . EMPTY
Memories. . . .IRREPLACABLE.
Had the time of my life, meeting some amazing people, and making some good friends.
Vegas . . . .. YOU ARE MY HEAVEN.
See you all soon...............
