As I posted in the Meet in the Suite thread I arrived late to the party as as I was trying to spend Father's Day with my kids. I had booked a late night flight into Vegas, however Southwest had other ideas and moved my flight up 8 hours! So instead I had to leave my house at 9 in the morning, hop on a plane from Memphis to Chicago. There I dropped off my 6 year old with his grandparents to spend a week with them and then enjoyed the 2 hour delay before arriving into Vegas yesterday at 530pm. My 6 year old got quite the first night as my parents had tornados touch down less than 20 minutes from their home!
Unfortunately that wasn't the end of the travel runbad as it took 2 hours of standing in line at the rental counter to get a car. Then because I arrived to the hotel late the Diamond check in line was closed so I ended up having to wait in another long line to check in to the hotel. However, I was able to meet up with @Schmendr1ck at this point. As I hadn't eaten we ended up heading straight to dinner, Mexican. We inquired about how big the $20 nachos were and the waitress said enough for 2. We were skeptical, but decided to split it. She wasn't wrong and for the record the nachos won.
After all day of traveling I wanted to just chill and take it easy so we grabbed a seat in the Ballys 1/3 game. I managed to get half the stacks in with KK vs. top pair, turn he binks his two pair and I rebuy. Later get it all in vs. a guy who I though was EU based on his accent with AK. Bink my A and double up. I win someore pots and go from stuck $400 to up $500. Then I get coolered by Mr. EU when I hit top pair of Js with AJ and call all 3 streets. His QQ is good to double up through me. A few hands later I defend the BB with J9cc and CR, bet, bet a ccc board. EU calls the whole way with K4cc.... We had about $400 more behind and I am thankful to save the remainder of my stack. EU locks up after this, pulls out his computer to play on WSOP online and that's the game gets very meh.
We play for a while longer and call it at 230am or 430 for me after being up 21 hours
