Mig and rainkhan went to play the $5k NLHE WSOP event, and myself and ket headed to the venetian to play the $550 since you got $10k in chips, and would probably have much more play than wsop events (and obv be much softer then the $5k WSOP event).
Pretty quickly i bled my stack off to 8500 by missing flops. Then at 50/100 utg limps, really aggro guy in MP makes it 600 and decent button calls. I was in the SB and made it 2000 to go with  . utg tanks for ages (and later claims he had  ) and folds, and both MP and button calls. Flop comes   and i fire 4k and take it down, aggro guy claiming he had  .
I pickup a few pots here and there, and get up to 13k, when an interesting hand comes up. There is a really bad asian dude at my table who seems to just want to gamble. He open raises to 1200 at 100/200 with a 6k stack. The decent aggro dude makes it 3500 and i have JJ on the button. While the aggro dude seems decent, im not sure he is creative enough to isolate the moron with AJ or 99, so i folded.
I make first break with about 14k and ket has 20k since some moron gets allin after chasing a one card straight, and ket obv has the nuts.
When i return, blinds are 100/200/25. A reaaaaally bad player opens in EP to 700 (his standard raise) and i call in the BB with  . Flop comes   and i check, and he checks behind instantly. The turn is the most interesting turncard, the giving me a double gutter and the flush draw. I lead for 1300 and he makes it 4k. I really wasn't sure what to do here, counted out a push and ended up just calling. The river was and i shove, and he turbo folds.
At this point im up to $18k and start trying to open up and rape the table at 200/400/25. The table keep playing back at me, and my image is horrible. The same moron dude from the  hand minraises to 800, and the really aggro dude calls on the button, obv not a good hand. I overcall in the BB with  and check in the dark. Flop comes   and the preflop raiser checks. Aggro dude makes it 1600 and i checkraise to 4500. He thinks and finally folds his junk, and i table my  . He doesn't look too amused but ends up slowing down his raising. I then raise  from the CO and accidently expose them when everyone folds and i muck. I now have the worse table image ever!
At 200/400/25 i raise  to 1200, and the guy who commented on my  hand pushes for 8500. The sb is a young internet kid, who ends up coldcalling with 3k behind. I fold and guy has  and the SB has  . Oops.
I then just steal a few pots, and get up to 21k at the next break, ket is down to 16k but amazingly still in the tournament!
When we return to play, it is 400/800/75. I pick up  utg+1 and make it 2500. Some moron in MP pushes for 10k, and its folded around to a fairly tight guy in the SB. He now goes hard into the tank, and looks really confused. He counts out a coldcall (with a 30k stack) and just looks really confused. After about a minute he asks how much i have behind, and thinks even more. He finally coldcalls, and i shove. He now goes into the tank again (lol) for like 10k more into a now 45k pot. He eventually calls with  and the MP has  . The flop comes   but i don't get there and bust.
I then register for a $130 sng while waiting for ket, and end up sitting next to TheActionKid. Everyone sucked in the sng, and ActionKid didn't seem that great either. I bust him at 100/200 when he shoves the sb with 1100 blind, and i call with  which holds vs his  . I then bust another dude who shoved sb v bb with K6 and i had  . The sng paid $550 to top two, and i was a big chipleader with 5 left. I then shove my sb with two cards into some woman who calls with  and wins.
I have a $100 LL with some guy, and the blinds now go up to 200/400. He raises to 1200 with a 3k stack on the CO, and i repush on the button with 3800 with  . He has  and wins the hand, which cripples me and i bust the next hand losing the sng and the LL.
While i am playing ket comes over having busted with KK v AA v QQ and we head back to the house. We get in touch with kickdog and myth, and arrange to meet up for something to eat. We go to some casino i forget, and get a really good chinese, and obv i lose the creditcard roulette. We decide to go play some 1/3 uncapped at the wynn, and i was really tired and played horrible, spewing off about $1100 or so when me and ket finally decide to call it a night.
We get back to the house to find rainkhan still up, he has 50k in the $5k wsop, and mig has about 110k and have made it into the second day.
