Well I sat down early which ended up being a big mistake I think. I started imaging my first hand would be A/A and losing horribly. Well ironically it was my first hand, I went 3x the big blind with no callers. Phew…. still alive in this one. After making a great run up to 8200 chips I got moved tables.

Second hand the A/A is back and second from the button goes all-in. It is sort of automatic for me to call and I do. Everyone else folds and I flip over my A/A to his 10/10. The flop started with a 10 and never got much better for me. Now I sit with 2500 and unfearhered. Well I think unfearheted because I push a move I know I shouldn’t make very soon. After going back and forth on small pots I find K/9 H on the buttonand raise to 300.

I get one called who is the big blind. The flop is Q / K / 6 and I bet 300 again. He moves all-in and barely has me covered with around 4k. After saying “you should fold” in my head 10 times I call. He flips over Q/6 and after two dead cards he takes the win. Now did I make the right play or was I influenced by getting my Aces cracked..Not sure but I will think about it and report back if I shed light on the play. Right now Fiodor is at the end of hour two with 8k hanging strong. About 7 more out and he is in the money!!

After a couple hours Fiodor took home a victory marking our cashes up to two in the first two days. Not a bad average! The day of poker got cut short by us heading over to Mandalay Bay’s House of Blues for the Girl Talk x Dan Deacon x Wallpaper concert. It was totally amazing and a great way to finish up the second night of Las Vegas.
