Sorry for the last days of radio silence.
Falk is alive, but that's it about that story, its like they say "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas".
Tuesday:
Busted the 1k Wynn with JJ vs AK and met up with the rest of the Swede crew playing pit games. I ended up winning maybe 1500$ on craps. We decided to go over to Cut at Palazzo and grab dinner. Some of the guys ordered the "100 % Tajima Kobe, Hyogo, Rib Eye Steak" that cost 150$ for 2oz. I ordered 6oz for a total of 450$. I've tried Kobe once, in Sweden, but that time we shared 4oz with 2 friends as a starter. Had some sides along with it and a nice bottle of red wine. After dinner, we played some more craps and I lost like 2k$. Decided to call it and go to sleep.
Wednesday:
Woke around 10 and today was the day of WSOP Main Event. Went over to Rio and signed up and got seated at a table that at first glance looked pretty cold. One older person, Chris Björin (Swedish legend), and the rest of the table were like 25-35. But it turned out that everyone sucked at the table so had some good hopes. Started of by losing a pot with AKs vs AA on a K high board. A while later this hand happens.
We are playing 200/300/300. Open from UTG+1 and I flat 67s on BTN. Flat from SB and BB.
Flop comes AQ2sss giving me a flush.
UTG+1 cbets, I flat, SB flat and BB folds.
Turn is an offsuit T and SB leads out 5k. UTG+1 folds and I flat.
River is an offsuit A and SB bets out 10k. I cryfold.
A new gentleman sits down at our table and he makes a ******ed bluff raising turn and barreling of river. Some hands later we get involved in a pot where he opens in CO and I flat with 32s and SB joins along.
Flop is AJ2r, everyone checks and turn is a 3. The aggrotard pots and I'm tempted to raise, but I end up just calling. SB folds and river is another J. Yet again he pots and I'm forced to fold.
Still playing about 45k but with the table being so great I'm still not worried. Then I'm getting transferred to a new table.
At this table there is 3 young asians, all of them were good. I had some british guy at the table who I don't know if he actually was good but he was aggresive and always showed good hands. Probably only one fish at the table but he was like 4 seats to my left so not that great. Very aggresive table and 3bets and squeezes making me bleed. Think I had a total of 12-13 pocket pairs that got to a flop and didn't flop any set.
A very interesting hand played out, I'm not involved though.
Open from MP, hi-jack call and BTN call.
Flop is A
J
8
Cbet from MP, call from hj and a raise from BTN. Call, call.
Turn is a 7
and MP donks half pott. Call and call.
River is a 7
and MP checks, hj checks and BTN all in. MP calls and hj goes all in and MP folds.
MP shows : T

HJ shows : A

BTN shows : J

I lose some more hands and playing 25k on 300/600/600. MP opens to 1400 and I flat A
K
. Aggressive SB sqzes up to 5900. I go all in and get snap called by A
K
.
Flop is Q
8
2
and SB takes back his chips. The turn is a J
giving me the royal straight flush-draw and SB doesn't notice this stacking up his chips. I pray for a miracle but the river is a black card and we chop.
Some minutes later I pick up J
J
in SB and the fish opens to 2400. It folds over to me and I make it 8k with a total of 27k. Then BB wakes and shoves over the top. SB folds and I decide to call it off. BB tables KK and I do not improve. Out of the WSOP Main Event on Day 1 with like 1 hour left of the day :crazy
Wasn't in the mood of anything so went back to the hotel and slept.
Thursday:
Went back to Jardin and had some breakfast before going up to the room to pack everything. When I was done I laid down in the bed and just looked out of our window and then felt something weird. I look over at Falk who isn't really paying attention. I just feel that the bed starts to shake and I'm like "Wow they are really ****ing in the next room". Then everything starts to shake even more and we can hear our hangers starts to sound a lot. Then I realise it is an earthquake. First time ever experience it. We go out from the room and can't decide what to do? Should we like leave the hotel or what. We hear nothing and we decide to take the elevators down, probably shouldn't take an elevator during an earthquake but I'd rather die than run down from the 29th floor. Going down to the main floor and everyone is just acting normal. Talk with a security guy who is like "yeah, it was an earthquake but it's over now". So we went back up.
Checked out of Encore and got comped like 400$ of the total bill. Not that great but I'm up like 4-5k$ on pit games so I can't complain. Went over to Fashion Show Mall and bought some clothes before heading over to Vdara to check-in. That's where we are now.
Falk is playing Main Event 1C tomorrow and i'm going to focus on cash games now. Haven't played any cash games for the last 3 days basically and only main / pit games.
