Flights C and D didn't go so well for me. Just went home to chill with ragequit and watch some Marco Polo with her.
Woke up at 930 to hit up the 1500 buy in today, but snoozed for another hour before getting ready. Arrived at Rio at 11:20 or so and sat 30 minutes late. Was a meh start and then ran it up to 20k @ the 300bb level before losing a flip for 13k each. Found a double in the next level when a similar sized stack 2b, I 3b jammed w 88, and he called w 66 hoping we were flipping. Now sitting at Izakaya Go on dinner break with 16k returning to 500bb level.
Amusing story from this tourney. 100/200/25 level. Folds around to button who announces "Forty-five hundred." Tosses out 5 100 chips. I don't say anything because I knew his intent was 450. Dealer didn't say anything either which irks me more than the misclick. Small blind, though, asks for clarification. "Did you say forty-five hundred?" "Yeah. Forty-five hundred. Four-fifty." It's at this point the dealer asks the original raiser to put in 4500. Guy looks at him all confused and now I feel compelled to back them up and say yeah I heard "forty-five hundred" which coincidentally puts the guy all-in. Small blind then announces he's all in as well and I fold my big blind. Original raiser flips over A3o and sb flips over 55.
It's pretty quiet as the runout bricks for A3o. The original raiser, who for the last two hours kept putting in limps when there were raises because he never heard the raises with his over the ear headphones on, starts to grumble and provokes the guy who was the small blind. "Pocket fives... hah... try that again and see what happens." Of course the guy is already eliminated so the dude who knocked him out reminds him of that fact. They start swinging dicks and talk about taking each other on.
A3o: I'll take you on any day big boy let's go.
55: I'll wreck you any day.
A3o: There's a basketball court outside. Break is in 20 minutes big boy.
55: I meant in poker.
Tried really hard not to giggle.
Oh lord. So I'm sitting at the counter finishing up dinner and I think this poker player Asian dude took a girl here on like a first dinner date during our break. Waitress brings out their chutoro nigiri.
Guy: "Chutoro is usually the most expensive thing you can order from a Japanese restaurant."
Girl: "Ohhhh wow!"
Guy: "It's fatty though and I know you are trying not to eat anything too fatty."
Girl: "Ohh okay yeah I won't eat it."
Now the guy is trying to talk to her about the different Asian cultures lol.
