Caesars $5k, Phish, FTOPS
Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - Bryan Devonshire
On Tuesday Oct 27th I started play for the Caesar’s Classic $5k main event. I continued to play until there were twenty left. Then I went all in on the button with A7 and 18 big blinds. I was called by Glenn Chorny who had the best hand in online poker, the king and the queen, although he only had one flush draw. The flop came Ac3c3d. Js. Th. I got paid just as much as the first person out did, but not as much as 18th place. Sigh.
Exhausted the next morning the plumbers came over to check on a leak in the kitchen. My sadistic girlfriend scheduled them for 7am. I would have been tilted if I had to play a final table a few hours later listening to them use a Sawzall on the drywall. Hell, it tilted me anyways. Turns out the upstairs drain pipe, which sends the laundry room and upstairs bathroom drainage to wherever it goes was leaking. Hooray for a little bit of my upstairs flushed poops ending up in the kitchen wall. So they cut apart the wall, pulled up carpet, pulled linoleum, and left a mess. Good news tho is that KB Homes is paying for it. Just when everything was about settled it turns out that the water heater was leaking too. That KB isn’t paying for. F it all imo. I packed the truck, packed Shelley, and we headed off to the Phish fest, at the same place Coachella is. Here’s some pics.

This was home for 4 nights. For the festival they allowed cars to park on the fields and then people camped out of their cars. Was awesome, way better than having to pack and park like Coachella and every other one I’ve been to.

These were our neighbors from Oklahoma. We made friends with them. They were making tomato, avocato, green onion, and peanut butter sandwiches on wheat using a Grateful Dead glow in the dark frisbee as a cutting board.

Halloween. That’s a man in a loin cloth with a man in a diaper behind him. Just after snapping this pic a woman on a horse walked by behind.

Drove back Monday, was a great weekend. Super stoked that I got to go to this thing, I was always bummed that I never made it to one before they broke up, was an awesome experience.
This week it’s been all about grinding online. I made a deep run in the FTOPS #1, $215 6 max, taking 5th without ever really having a chance. I just mucked my way to a $37k score basically. Hooray!
Peace and good luck,
Devo
