The Boys are Back in Town Again (June 2025 Version)

Typical turbulence flying into Vegas during summer [emoji854]

Table black 220, seat 4, come say hi!

The $20 truck still works at PH. I’ll post the night time version later on.

But first it’s off to meet the boys.

Dunc and I popped into a PH 1/3nl mundane table
Ended up +117

Lists damn long everywhere

Terrible game. PH used to be a great low stakes property to play but the room being upstairs and hidden away meant that there was hardly an alcoholic drink in the room [emoji849]

Holy Crap - my login still works? Amazing.

What are the big ticket events for you this year, still mixed games or any specialist events?

Rock Steady - how are you mate?

Looking at either or both of the mini PPC ($3k 9 game mix), the $2.5k mixed triple draw and maybe the seniors event

Another cash for Oscar and a first cash of the series for Guitarist - both in the Monster Stack. Well played gents.

Meanwhile I was watching the dealer hit straights, flushes and one straight flush while I handed her $300 at the pai gow table.

Still, I did come back to a rather spectacular night time view.

Great room view Dunc

For those that regularly read our trip reports, you’ll know that jetlag and I don’t get on. Once again, jetlag has come to battle, this time kicking me out of bed at 4am after giving me a good nudge at 12, 1, 2 and 3am. The older I get, the worse I seem to lose these battles.

And if you still think that Vegas is still 24 hours, you should try finding a decent cup of coffee before 6am.

Thought I’d add a pic from the Horseshoe yesterday. This is after the Monster Stack has whittled down the 9,920 field to approx 1,000 left….

Early morning in the Bellagio with the overnight drunks and the morning early-risers

This is what two days of intense focus in the a Monster Stack looks like…… (Guitarist was 23 years old at the beginning of this tourney and had dark, flowing locks!)

Early Bellagio 1/3 with Dunc and Muck

Got my $24 straddle on already [emoji2957]

Value betting the 4 high flush on a JJJxx board knowing the table calling station will pay me off with ace high [emoji1787][emoji1787]

And then lose a stack and a bit with KQ on a KK42cchh board. I jammed the off suit 3 on the river and lost to the flush draw that hit the gut shot.

It’s easy to forget how poker can be so unlovable [emoji849]
