Vegas Day 5 - Preview

I just had 12 hours sleep, and 36 hours of detox. For once, I am in sound mind for the tournament today - it’s a big one as well - $5k WSOP. I imagine the table is going to be tough though, as the average poker tourist is unlikely to pony up the entry fee, but we shall see.

Shazbo and Deven both busted from the Venetian deep stack tournament yesterday in the midfield, but I think Sir Mike was still going strong, although since I slept early last night I am not sure if he cashed or not.

Shazbo’s exit hand was slightly bizarre. She hasn’t played a hand for 4 orbits and has a 20k stack. UTG limps for 1.6k as do 6 (six) others. Shazbo is in the big blind with pocket 8s and executes the semi bluff squeeze play by shoving for 20k, to try and win the 10k in the pot. All fold upto the last limper who snap calls. It transpires this rocket scientist had been happy to play KK against 7 players, and off course his hand buried the pocket 8s.

Meanwhile, a big event is about to happen. The Clark County Detention Centre is awaiting a potential new guest…The Volcano lands in 3 hours :)
