[the machine]

you may have already read this in BBV or the SSNL vegas thread but it deserves to be here as well.

preface: for those who don't know I won a promotion through cardrunners and they brought me out to vegas for a few days.


WOW


What an amazing night I just had.

TR

So I get a call from ezra saying that the guys from cardrunners are going to take me out to dinner tonight. They take me to FIX at the Bellagio. I get to the restaurant before they do so I order a few beers and just hang out and wait for them.

They arrive around 9:10 and I meet GP, Muddy, Stinger and they say we need to go get Townsend. ZOMG Im gonna meet aba ldo <<<<<<PUMPED. Hes playing 500-1k PLO/NLH in bobbys room at the Bellagio. We get to the enterance and they wave him over and he comes out. We tell him were goin to eat a FIX and he says hell stop over in a little while.

So we go back to FIX and start boozin it up and talkin a little poker. A guy from bluff magazine comes over and hangs with us for a while, and Townsend follows suit.

When he gets there he tells us hes stuck about 100k. I [censored] my pants ldo.

So we eat an amazing meal and booze it up while we are there. Afterwards we head out of teh restaurant and hang out at the bar right by the poker room. The guys buy me a bunch of drinks and I'm gettin pretty sloppy now. I leave to take a piss and this is where things get good.

As I'm walking back from the bathroom a few of the guys are yelling "machine machine come here come here" They seem all frantic so I roll over with a whats up.

"Dude we are so [censored] jealous right now. Townsend wants you to go into Bobby's Room and sweat him in the game for about 15 mins!!!!!!!"

HOLY [censored]. I get the biggest cheese on my face and I'm also kinda nervous. As I walk to the room I try to keep my composure and not look like a complete loser walking in.

So I go in a get to sit behind Townsend and watch him play for a while. When I first got there they were playing PLO. Every hand he played while I was there he won. <<<< good luck charm obv.

So not to mention am I sitting behind and sweating ABA but also across from me at the table is Phil Ivey, Minh Ly is on my right, Bobby Baldwin is in the 10 seat, Gus Hnasen and David Oppenhiem are hangin out in the lounge area, and Chaiu Giang shows up later as well.


Also for 2p2 liking and rumor starting, who was sitting behind Bobby and joined him when he would leave the table??? You guessed it, Brandi. lol.


Anyways being able to sweat aba was one of the most insane things I've ever had happen to me. I'll probably never step foot in that room again for the rest of my life. Before I left the table I asked one thing from Brian. I really wanted to check out one of his many 25k chips, and he gladly abliged. (never held 25k before).
