So....I'm Going To England

I woke up with a huge hangover this morning, hit my snooze twice, then finally rolled out of bed in time to play the two freerolls on RTR at noon that were for $7k EPO packages. I'm so thankful that I actually played a freeroll for once because I ended up final tabling both of them. The one with 150 entrants was winner-take-all and the one with 55 entrants gave packages to the top 3. I ended up busting in 7th place in the winner-take-all with 99 vs. A2o, which was unfortunate because that would've been for one of the biggest stacks at the table. We got to 4 handed in the other tourney and I had 35k in chips at like the 300/600 level and was the chipleader. We got one guy down to where he was playing with 2-5BB's but he survived 3 allins against 2 or 3 of us calling him down at the same time. Pretty soon I was one of the shortstacks with 10BB's and luckily I survived to make it to the top 3. Weee......ship the $7k package, of which I'll get $1700 of up front for expenses and then they'll pay my way into the $5k+300 event. I'm thinking about touring Europe for a week or so after the tourney since I've never been and this provides a great excuse to go. I think I'm more excited about knowing I'm going to Europe in a few months than about the money that I won.

Yesterday was an awesome day too; I booked a +1400 session at 1/2 and 2/4 in 1k hands, so obviously I was running super hot. Then we went to the Palms and played craps before going to the club, and I won $435 there. When we walked up to the craps table, we noticed one of the tables was surrounded by a camera crew and a bunch of African American guys. We're like wtf are the cameras for, and then we realized that it was the infamous TO (Terrell Owens for you football illiterate people), and I guess he's filming a reality show or something, which is ironic because they weren't even playing for real money. We also saw Jack Nicholson at the food court...he was getting Panda Express for anyone who cares. After craps we headed to the Playboy Club and Moon, which have AMAZING views of the strip. Moon was a pretty sick club, even though the girl to guy ratio was pretty terrible. So anyway, this week has been pretty fantastic, and hopefully this next week will be the same.
