Well as some of you may know I just recently moved to Vegas to deal poker. Its hella boring right now for me because I don't have a job yet, which means no playing cards until I get some kind of cash flow going. Jobhunt starts tomorrow though so wish me luck :shock:
So I was bored as hell last night and decided to go check out the action going on at the rio. When I first got there I saw a some what big crowd around one table. I walked up there I found out that it was the final table for a $3000 NLHE event that started yestareday. I didn't recognize anyone at the table but it was very cool to watch. First place paid out an amazing $682,000. It was 5 handed and the table was playing VERY tight, I mean so tight that within 45 minutes I hadnt seen a single flop. Then all of a sudden theres a riase from the button, a re-raise from the big blind, an all-in from the button and a quick call from the big blind. The button flips over KK, the big blind flips over AA... crazy shit.
Well after that I walked all over the place and saw a ton of poker "stars." Heres a list of all the people I can remember off the top of my head:
Chris "jesus" Furgeson
Eric Seidel
Tod Brunson
Daniel Negranue
Cindy Violette
TJ Cloutie (sp?)
And some more people I recognized from last years event on espn but I can't remember their names. Anyways it was a shitload of fun and im probably going to be going back there every day until its over. I'll let you guys know what happens.
