Depending on where you went, this might be a beat.

First time I won a $1 45-man. Damn balla.

Or yesterday, when I went to some TV- and computer shop and headed straight for the boss and asked where the biggest, baddest, most expensive TV was!

this may qualify for actual balla if I paid for it, but didn't:

Rolled around London (yes, the UK capital) one night in a Merc limo with a few mates.

explanation(tl;dr):
We were on a school trip and had to get back to the hotel in time for check in, but the Tube was already closed. Or I think we figured it may take too long. So my rich balla friend (Saudi Royal family) called up a Merc limo on the spot!

I was at the Rio this past year for the WSOP and was walking with my wife to the Amazon room. I look up and all of the sudden this older guy on a scooter whips a U turn in the middle of the hall and almost ran over my foot! I hear my wife gasp for air and say OMG look at who that is..... I look down and its non other than Doyle Brunson! Now if he would have ran over my foot and broken every bone I would have been 100% baller! Instead I felt baller for the fact that he almost ran over me and I was so close to his awesomeness!

Walked into The Ritz London today to book a table for a Dinner + Dance (suprise present for attractive friend (she's female (obviously))).

Beat: The doorman asked me if I was 'dropping something off for someone' when I walked in.

Spent a week eating/drinking for free at one of Londons best private casinos during the WSOPE, which included lifts back to hotel in Bentleys etc.. then had access to the VIP lounge at the Empire for the entire series. That was a slightly baller couple of weeks.
