That"s rough James... I remember how I felt last year after busting out of my first WSOP event, and that was afer only 3 hours! To have played all day and so close to the money is a sickener.
I was fortunate that I had a fairly healthy stack as the money approached, although unfortunate to have, at that point in time, the chip leader* on my right... he was just running over the table, as is absolutely right in the circumstances... he raised every pot and I, like most others at the table, folded like a little girl. :-)
I"m going to play the rush ;) re-invest $1000 and have a go in the Seniors Event today.

Good luck in the seniors event. And I must congratulate you again on a superb performance, to cash was a top achievement, the field was so tough.

All credit to you James, for going out to Las Vegas and giving it a real go and above all else for giving a very honest appraisal of your time over there, without colouring it with horrendous beat stories and wild expectations. Enjoy your last few days.

Cheers Des, I will. Although the poker has not gone so well the experience of Vegas has been unbelievable. It is also great to have the forum to keep my blog on, that way I can look back in a few days/weeks/months/years and remind myself of a great two weeks.

Unfortunately the seniors event went much the same way as last year, lasting about 3 1/2 hrs... but I did go out to horrible beat, 93% fav on flop... lose to runner, runner flush. But I did have the pleasur of playing with Men "The Master" for a couple of hours.
I may come up and play that $300 at Wynn, if I do I"ll try and find you.

...
Chilling in the afternoon, taking in a few of the sights and trying to find some gifts or my Mom & sister. I hate shopping and gift shopping is even worse. Seemed to go through every gift shop in vegas and still didn"t find anything. I figure I work better under pressure and so have decided to leave it till the last minute, so I hope to find something at the airport....

If you have the time M&M World can"t be beaten for gifts, I had to buy a new bag for the way home because of this place. :)
