1st hand, 7-2. Second hand, 7-2. 3rd hand, you guessed it, 7-2. The entire first level my high card was an 8 with one pocket pair of 3's thrown in there somewhere. First hand of the second level I saw K-K with a $300 raise and call in front of me. I moved in and both players fold. I blind down to even again and pick up 8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 10 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif on the button with 7 limpers. I call the $100, small blind completes, and 9 see the flop of J /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif . UTG leads out $300 and 4 others call. I call. The turn is K /images/graemlins/heart.gif and it checks to me. I opt to see a free card and the river bricks. UTG moves all in and all fold. 3rd level brings more bad cards and a lot of folding. My table breaks and I'm moved to a LOOSE game with lots of action and chips but more bad cards for me. I pick up Q-Q on the button with 1400 chips left. 2 limpers and I move in for my last 1400. Both limpers call with A-K?, flop brings and ace, and I'm out.
On a side note there's a $540 tourney every night at 7:15, BUT, they're no longer running $65 satellites. The smallest they're running is $120. Doesn't make any sense to me why they would run a $540 every night and not run a satellite for a $500 chip. I asked why and all they could say is "you can chop a $120 and get one chip". Thanks.

do they want you to chop in order to decrease the time spend having to deal sng's?
I thought this was the reason that Wynn has the same prize for first and second in their satillites.
