well, i'm back at the room for a nap so will report today's activities. not too much excitement yet.
left here shortly after i reported day 1. went to the rio to check the tourney area. it was real quiet. about 15 cash games and a satellite going on. i asked how many they had for the main event and she told me about 5500 with 4 hours to go. not sure how many they wound up with.
went to a bar at the rio and ordered a bloody mary and played video poker for about a 200 loss and 2 bloody marys.
went to bj to win my money back and found a fun as hell table. played until about noon when my wife met me there. won about 200.
went with my wife to the poker lifestyle show and browsed the booths for about an hour. nolan had a booth selling his book and i visited with him for about 20 minutes. my wife was going to take pictures but my camera had dead batteries. pics will come tomorrow.
the show has booths selling everything you can think of that's poker related. glad i went.
then we went to the tourney area and that is one amazing site. 200 tables and 2000 people playing poker. all you can hear are chips. sounds like crickets. lol
saw gus hanson, jesus ferguson, barry greenstein, antonio whathisname, greg raymer, scotty nuguen (sp), mike sexton, mike caro and many more i cant think of right now. we stayed there about 2 hours and came back to mgm for lunch and i'm back to the room for a nap.
i'll report back tomorrow and tomorrow after playing poker i'll have a big report.
thanks for listening
