I busted the 3rd Bellagio $5000 event sometime in the third level. I had fallen down to 10,300 in chips despite having an amazing table draw. The bustout hand from this tournament is one of those that comes up like one out of every 100 tournaments that just leaves you speechless while walking to valet.
A bad Japanese player opened UTG to 600 at 1/200 and I found AcAd in MP and elected to raise to 1700. The player quickly called when action returned to him. Flop 9c3h2c. Guy checked, I bet 2300 and he called, leaving me just 6300 in the pot of 8300. The turn was the Qc and the guy quickly tossed out two 5000 dollar chips that covered my stack. I quickly called, turned up my hand, and was shown KQhh for the no hand no draw out of position call on the flop. The river was an offsuit Queen and it actually took about 10 seconds before I could pull myself out of my chair.
After the bustout my friend Jesse and I went to check out the NBA Summer League down at Thomas and Mack center. Later we met up with the guys and watched the UFC fights closed circuit at MGM before finally heading out for a long night of partying. I woke up today at 2:30 p.m. and we returned to the NBA Summer League for 5 hours of basketball.
Tomorrow I'm playing WPT Bellagio Cup. I always get excited about this event because I won it in 2006 (when it was unsanctioned by the World Poker Tour). This is the very last tournament of the summer, so hopefully I can make something happen.
In very exciting news, my roommate Adam "Csimmsux" Geyer outright won the Bellagio $5000 tournament that ended yesterday for a very significant financial score. Congrats to him.
