Off Days

Not a whole lot to report from yesterday and today, which were spent relaxing and preparing for my Day 2 tomorrow (wednesday). Spent some time at the Venetian playing cash game poker.

Todd's friend here in town who has serious connections and who arranged the free room for us to stay in at the Rio got us some comped tickets to a show tonight. It was Ooh La La at the Paris hotel, which was pretty cool. Big thanks to Todd and his friend who have made this trip that much easier.

I just wandered down to the Amazon room here at the Rio which is where it all goes down and things are as busy as ever. The final numbers for the tournament are in and there were a total of 6358 people who registered for the Main Event with a prize pool of close to $58 million. The top 621 players will "cash" with the lowest prize amount at over $20,000; the winner will get $8.25 Million.

Whatever happens tomorrow, I have essentially made the top third of the field by making it to day 2. I have outlasted many top pros and thousands of others. That I can be proud of, though not satisfied with. I am thinking positive thoughts about tomorrow's poker playing and look forward to a long day of poker and many updates to come.

[i hope i can find some Aces or Kings relatively soon though!]
