Out of Bellagio’s $1500 tournament around 75th of the 270ish entrants. Early on there was a pot where my friend Eric Baldwin raised to 525 from EP, I called with two tens in the cutoff and both blinds called. Flop 544r with a spade. BB led out 1000 and I decided to just call after Eric folded. SB folded and the turn was the Qs. Guy led out all-in for my 8400 in the 4500ish pot. I thought one minute and called and was shown K5cc and held.
In level 7 I opened A6hh from MP at a new table and a Euro thought and called 1300 more in the big blind. Flop Ad3d2c. Guy checked, I bet 2800 and guy thought and called. Turn Kc. Guy checked, and I just can’t let a card come off on this board. I bet 7000 of his 13500, he moved in and I cried, called and was shown A3o. After I called the clown raised his eyebrows shook his head and then finally opened his hand when he obviously knows he’s good. Thanks for the slowroll.
Finally, I shoved 14bb from the small with A3dd and a kid found ATo, called, and I found myself in the Bellagio valet one minute later. Gonna enjoy the weekend off before playing the WSOP Main Event on Monday. We’re getting a cabana at Rehab one the 4th which should be a really good time.
