Day Five - Friday June 23rd
Woke up around 11am feeling energized after getting a good 10 hours sleep.
Go down to the poker room around 12pm to find the waiting lists are already 20-30 players long. Sigh. But I see dealers sitting at empty tables. A glimmer of hope perhaps?
Are you going to start some new games? I ask.
No, they're for the tournament. came the reply
What sort of braindead ******ed cardroom management is that when all the waiting lists for cash game tables are 20,30,40 people long? (They have a separate area for tournaments during the WSOP)
I just reply
thank you without adding my 2c and wander off in search of something to eat.

I see PH has got the monopoly on old lip synching tarts
We eventually arrive at Panda Express. Orange chicken and Beijing beef.
On returning to the Aria poker room I wait a bit more and am eventually seated in a 2/5/10 PLO game at about 2pm.
Run good trying to return but still not quite happening. I call a raise pre with A567 (suited A obv) and see a rather favorable
flop of 347rainbow and manage to get in 1k effective with the guy who cracked my aces with A2xx yesterday.
I assume he's got a set. We go twice. Top board pairs the 4. Bottom board no change. He flips over 47xx LOL. His two pair got there for a chop. Luckily for me we went twice.
Not really hardcore chip porn but its above my starting stack which didn't happen at any point over the last two days so I'll take it.
I'm picking up small pots here and there and seem to have a good table image which I use to make a couple of bare ace plays successfully.
The game wasn't the best so I moved into the other 2/5/10 game which was running but a couple of the spots I moved for left not long after (one of them with about 7k) and the game became even worse than my original one.
I called it a day with a profit of +$640 after 8 hours play.
My reward for grinding out a win. 2 scoops mint chocolate from Jean Philippe.
Early night tonight in preparation for the Monster Stack which starts at the unseemly time of 10am ??? Good luck to all the 2+2ers playing it.
