Game over in Niagara for me. Never picked up a hand at all today and was forced to try and make some magic happen continually with weaker hands, which eventually caught up with me. It was a shame too, as at one point I was up to about 310k and thought I was on my way.

I busted when I picked up 67spades on the button and open-shoved for 95k with blinds of 4k-8k. The very clearly under-21-years-old player next to me called from the small blind with A8off, after having bluffed me out of a pot about 10 minutes earlier and then yapping about it for a bit. I think I may have jumped the gun a little bit with my shove, but I hadn't won a hand in almost 2 hours and was getting shorter and shorter with each orbit. I flopped a pair when it came 9 5 7, but he made his straight on the river when the cards came 4, and then a 6, giving me a beaten two-pair. Poker Videos

Another tournament, another blown opportunity. Gav is still in and kicking strong, so rail him on, hopefully to a win! Heading to Bellagio in a few days...

peace,
