WSOP 2007 Day 3 Fri 29th - Lets Go to Venice
I am playing in the noon big stack tournament at the Venetian so I go there a bit earlier to wander along the canals.
Each time I come back I forget how absurd Las Vegas is and the Ventetian is much the best example.
Last year I bought some prints from the art shop just off St Mark's square so I went in to chat to the shop owner.
He said they will be moving to a new shop in the Palazzio development and that the canal was being extended as well. Madness.
There are 570 runners in the tournament paying $500 each. We start with $10,000 and I get no hands for the first few levels - I am down to $7000 when I call 1 limper with K3 hearts on the button on the last hand before the dinner break when blinds are 300/600 with 50 ante. Flop is K92. Check from BB and bet of $1000 from the limper (who is a pretty aggressive player). I decide he has nothing so go all in over the top. Suddenly the BB wakes up and calls and Mr aggressive folds. I am looking at a set of 2s from the BB but the dealer gets me runner, runner 6 then 4 for a straight. Now I have 16k chips .
I then make a few standard plays, knocking out someone with AK vs AQ and TT vs 77. I make a tidy reraise all-in from the BB with 55 versus a couple of limpers.
So I get to the dinner break with $40K and about 120 left - average stack $49k.
I celebrate with a quality mealof chicken tenders and chips - the american equivalent of nuggets.
Blinds are now 1500/3000 with 500 ante so as soon as I get AK I have to go all-in - but run into JJ and I am out.
Go to the Rio to buy-in for the event on Saturday. Play a baby sit single table satellite at $125. Don't get any real cards but get to 3rd with a minute stack - no deals done so I am knocked out fairly quickly.
Cost so far $2925
