Hi guys, my name is Rez, 33, male living just outside London. Im a van driver / handyman by day, and a weekend warrior at the poker tables mainly playing 1/2 - 2/5 NL + PLO with the occasional tournament when time permits
888 Rozvadov

Irish Open Dublin

This year has been rather favorable (insert Neeme Meme), i started out with a few good cash game sessions, and booked up a trip to 888 as above, where i run like dog **** for 6 days, and managed to book a small win on the trip after winning 10k in 5/5 PLO in the last night. I took that profit and went to Dublin for the Irish Open, I managed a min cash in the main event, and a decent win at the best cash games i have ever played, and to finish it off a 3rd place in a 350euro side event for 7.2k win (biggest live cash)
fast forward to today, im typing this up with 2 weeks to go until i depart on my 10.5 hour flight to Las Vegas! Im currently signed off work due to a foot injury which is nearly healed, the bonus is i have put in a huge volume at teh tables the past 2 weeks, and that worked out well because im £16,299 richer after my 2nd place finish at the £300 london poker championship event at the Victoria Casino last night. That marks my now biggest live tournament win and gives my bankroll a big boost in the run up to Vegas
my itinerary
I depart London Gatwick May 23rd at 10.30am via Virgin Atlantic for Las Vegas, where i stay at Treasure Island for 4 nights with a good friend and his wife, before driving to LA for 5 nights staying at the Ramada in the Commerace area, will do the usual sights and deff hit the Bike and Commerace for poker action. then its a short flight back to LV where i stay at Ellis Island for 16 nights on my own, before some friends from the London poker scene start arriving. Also, added bonus, a few work colleages are in vegas during my stay celebrating a 40th birthday, so expect a couple of wild nights + pool partys!
