Viva Las Vegas!!!

Well....... H.o.r.s.e.'s run at the World Series of Poker has been full of bad beats, suck outs, good friends and a lot of fun. Unfortunately, our visit to Las Vegas is coming to an end. 
The poker highlights include some friends cashing and one bracelet, in a h.o.r.s.e. event none the less.  We were able to hit up a couple of shows, La Reve was amazing, and lot's of outlet shopping.
My success is limited and includes MANY free meals, thanks to the credit card games, a break even poker record and a few dollars won in the nightly chinese poker games. 
We will finish up our trip driving up through the west coast. Not much poker is planned, but I'm sure we will find something to gamble on. Hopefully the drive isn't as long and hopefully I'm alive for more of the sights, how could I really miss Disneyland, golf and Alcatraz.

On a side note I'm trying to think of some ideas for a bachelor party. Does anyone have a good game to play or something, anything?!?!?!?

Bracelet found!

i know i know.. most of you were hoping I would have a glorious story of a final table, but no such luck in this event. More importantly, Jens Voertmann, a new found friend in Vegas won event #22, the 3K h.or.s.e. and was proudly wearing one of our patches during his star studed table! Congrats Jens!!

Bracelet Bound

As some of you already know, our road trip down to vegas was a little more eventful than we had planned... 7 hours the wrong way, 3 speeding tickets, a small amount of vomiting courtesy of AJ, and 1 Evil Knievel jump site had us in Vegas 28 hours later than we had left.

And now that we are here its a whole lot of poker, pool parties and senseless prop betting that could see one of us being forever indebted to another. Here are a few of the highlights thus far:

- Leif took down event #3 at the ventian deep stack for $40K as well as had a shallow cash finish in wsop event#7 for a few K.
-Yuval finished 36th in wsop event #13 for $14K, and had a few runs in other events so far.
- our hot tub water has turned a neon yellow color.. me thinks Joey went #1 in it, but hes not sayin much.
- The first round of golf went particulary well for Ricky, offering everyone strokes on the first tee and having them decline meant he would be forever in the black and could play less than his best ;) $10 skins, $5 KP's,  Birdie bonuses and multipliers... Rick = $140, everyone else = $0 
-after 15+ sng's for tournament chips between all the fellas in the house, Maymay was the first to cash... gross. I would have beat him to this feat if I could avoid one outers and cardracks ;)
-Myself and Jens Voertmann, a new found friend and Fulltilt pro, decided to give Yuval a clinic in chinese for $10 a point... James =$600 Jens =$200 Yuvie =$ - Laaaats!
-We decided to hit up the rippers for Joeys birthday too... uhh, yea... nothing happened... really... you believe me right? ;)

Well, I'm off to play wsop event #24, 2.5K PL HA.. Hoping to run like GOD ;)

pura vida,
