400K at 10K BB, we are still on the bubble somehow

21 left. 20 get paid.



515K at 15K BB

16 left, we are ITM, and 44K up top. The Wynn will be mine.



Good luck cat!


3 Wynn Final Tables in three summers isn’t nothing.

I need to tell myself that as I walk to the final table much shorter on chips than I hoped.

I was able to spin up - we had a long bubble, I had a medium stack, and every time I tried to spin up a bit, I met big time resistance and had to live to fight another day.

Here we are. 9 left. Let’s see if we can catch some heat.



The heat is...ON!


Sigh….out in 8th for 5k.

I found KK77 and got my last 250k (6-7 bigs) in Against AA84 and we couldn’t find a miracle.

There was a lot of spots leading up to the final table, which were extremely difficult to navigate and a few big pots that had they gone my way I would’ve been walking into the final table with closer to 1 million chips instead of limping in.



Sad to bust so close….but my math shows in the black for the trip!


Nice run! Busting always sucks but getting that far is great!


Great run - well done

Thanks everyone, I will do a write up at some point to share some of the key spots and a few takeaways from this years deep run. In the meantime, this cash gets us back in the black (or the green, whichever you prefer) for the trip, which is nice. We aren't up by too much though and I'm thinking today will be a lighter more recreational day as it's the last full day, and there is really nothing on the schedule worth firing I don't think.

There is a $300 dollar double board bomb pot PLO at MGM and while that seems like a lot of fun - like if I was here for a few more days, I'd go down there and just fire for some entertainment, it's just not the best use of time with only one day left and me being all the way down.

What do you guys like on the NBA game tonight? I think another $500 wager is in order on something, then maybe the world series of Pai Gow lol for the morning session.

We'll see......

Yes, here are the totals through 7 days

MTT: -$1100 (even with our cash last night lol)

Cash Games: $-1070 (We had a small winning PLO session in the AM yesterday before the golden nugget)

BlackJack: +$300

Roulette: +$2600

Slots: +$50

War: +$600

Pai Gow: -$100 (donked off 600 in this between the last tally and now)

Craps: +$300 (Had a quick decent roll yesterday before the 1100 which was fun)

Sports Bets: -$1000

Total: +580 YEAH BABY lol.

What do these totals tell you? POKER FISH ON A HEATER


After grabbing my cash, we headed to Allegro at 2:30am for dinner.

Chicken parm and spaghetti to celebrate the final table.

As always Allegro was solid but nothing over the top memorable - it’s consistently solid and they have great service there. 8/10



Hey Pardo - I have an off day today - lmk if you fancy meeting up for a coffee or some food later

A FISH on a heater baby!

Now we have two approved methods to reach the final table.

1. Buy into a tournament with a $50 bill
2. Initiate the run good of Strawberry Julius/Grey Hound

Thanks Wrath ! I’ll take a rain check as I have a couple friends who just got in last night but thank you and maybe another time.


Good day to chill and watch sports.

We have the four below plus we took Switzerland to
Cover. Got 1500 on the street trying to collect 3500 !



Like nba over totals
Brazil/draw
Turkiye

I took 206 n 209


Also put down a little bit on the Turks, some on the money line and some on the alternative -1.5 spread. Today I feel Istanbullish.


that's an amazing price on the Knicks ML... GL with your bets


The Switzerland draw was absurd lol.

The Brazil draw comes in!

Now we sweat the NBA game big time!

While grinding the 2/5 streets on our last night!



Racked up 2/5N up 305, then moved to PLO for a session and Racked up PLO +745. A nice session including a big bomb pot win where I make a straight on both boards and hold.

Knicks win! Wow! What a run by them. We win that bet, but lose the over so it’s basically a push for us.

Now we are still sweating Turkey and our bet on that, then it will be time to grab some food, go back to the room and pack a bit, we have to head to the airport around 830am tomorrow so not too bad but the way I feel, I’ll be setting an alarm lol.


Turkey got us. One of the most consistently fraudulent national teams. I fell for it again.
