Week 2 @ the WSOP
Tuesday, June 9, 2009 - Miss C
Hey All,
Here comes the close of another week in Vegas. In my last post I mentioned that people were flooding into town and on a personal side, one of my good friends from London flew in and boy did he fly in, in a major way. I am going to call him “Fred” so we don’t incriminate anyone! Just a little bit of background for you…we met a couple of years ago at the Aussie Millions and we have been in touch since then and hence I have not seen him in a year and a half. This time round he brings a mate and we will call him “Adam”, so we all catch up for a beverage. Well that beverage turned into a table at The Bank including a magnum of Dom Perignon Rose, a bottle of Stoli and a few shots. Did I tell you there was only 5 of us out that night? All I know is I saw the sun come up and I thank god that I don’t get hangovers! It is unbelievable how the happenings of Vegas almost seem normal here? On the downside I did lose my camera:(
You know that saying “When in Rome”, well “When in Vegas” a good friend of mine, Robert Williamson III has introduced me to something new…..a meal in a bottle – Corona with lime and hot sauce in it and guess what….I like it! He has been doing this for as long as I have known him and I am sure I have tried a sip here and there throughout the years, but now here at this moment, it has become my (meal) drink of choice. I know a lot of you have just wrinkled your nose, but all I can say is don’t knock it till you try it.
On the poker front the numbers have been good, Phil Ivey won his 6th bracelet and the Venetian Deep Stack Series is very appealing. So appealing that I may take my 1st day off in just over a fortnight and play. All this poker and I am eager to get in there. The ladies event at the Series this year saw 1060 females take their seats looking for the one and only female bracelet, not bad at a K a pop. The numbers didn’t surprise me, but what did was the rail during this event…it was packed. I actually saw more people railing than in most of the other tournaments. Go the girls!
Not sure why, but I cannot sleep well in Vegas. I can’t seem to get to bed before 4am. My aim for Week 3 @ the WSOP is to get to bed at a normal hour and have a good 8 hours.
Good Luck to All!
Cheers,
Miss C
