Wife and I got back late last night. An absolutely fantastic trip! Thanks to MadJackSports and Bookmaker for making this happen!
Cutting to the chase, Nick and I both busted just before the end of Day One. I went out with TT v AK when the King hit the river. I had some pretty decent hands over the 6+ hours I played, but couldn't do much with them. Guy to my right knocked 3 people out relatively early and was playing very aggressively, so I stayed out of his way for most of the time I played, unless I had something worth raising him with.
It was a pretty interesting experience. I was one of the few who's first language was english. I had a European woman next to me, a couple Swedes, and some hispanics all speaking their native languages. It was different. Doyle Brunson, Todd Brunson, and Mike Caro were the pros I recognized. Doyle went out very early, not sure how deep the other two made it.
1st place paid 64k, 2nd paid 38k. Overall, top 18 places paid and there were just over 200 people that competed.
Nick has some pics on his camera that he will hopefully post later in this thread. Golfed the Cana Bay course on Saturday, that was a lot of fun and a nice change of pace from the routine we had gotten into.
