After staying awake all night at the Excalibur, SoxLover, Kat, Jules, Garth and myself headed over to Binions for the $60 11am tourney. I was the lucky player to bust out first. Garth lasted a few more levels. The bastards are taking forever, err, playing well enough to stay alive with decent stacks.

The fearless three made the final table, but after a few hands later, Kat moves all in and gets one caller who has her covered. Kat dominates the hand, but the villan rivers a pair to eliminate her.

After the next break, Sox moves all in and is called and needs to improve. The rest of us at the rail cheer him on, but the cards send him away from the table.

And then there was one.

Jules makes it heads up and moves all in with, you guessed it, 72o. Second place ain’t to shabby.

Best quote of the tourney, dealer says, “And this coming from a guy on the rails playing with his nipples,” while rubbing said nipples.

After leaving Binion’s, I get back to my hotel and before I go to sleep for 4 hours, I load up Full Tilt over my cell phone connection, probably a 14.4k dail-up connection, you know, just to see if I can, and I see that Huckleberry Seed is sitting at an Omaha Hi/Lo $10 table and there is a seat open, but by the time the table loads I am the first in line to play. A little bit later, I’m sitting at the table, as shown here:

I only stick around for a few hands as I time out every once and a while and I don’t want to piss off other players I bail.. up twenty cents. Booyah!
