Default BRAG: $1 M+ weekend...

Variance: For my two buddies

Anyway, fly out last minute at 3 AM on saturday morning to rail my buddy in the WPT Mandalay Bay event, and he takes it home for 750K. Shippp it. (Met some of you guys there, and for the record, after his call with 33, for those of you who know what I'm talking about, the great shaundeeb himself now agreed that he is no longer deserving of being called 'legendary' and that it is reserved for only shawn buchanan).

So while we're still at the Mandalay, Shawn's roommate, Greg FBT Mueller runs over and lets us know he's chip lead in the mixed hold 'em 5K world series event. Gets heads up vs MrSmokey and smokey runs good and plays even better to take the title. Ship 2nd place, and the 330K.

Beat: First trip to vegas and am now addicted to railbirding

"With blinds of 20,000-40,000 and a 5,000 ante, Shawn Buchanan made it 130,000 from the button and Jared Hamby re-raised 220,000 more. Buchanan quickly called and the flop came Q 9 4 . Hamby bet out 410,000 and Buchanan just called. The 9 fell on the turn. Hamby fired a huge bet of 600,000, Buchanan counted out a call and put it in the pot without hesitation. When the K came on the river, Hamby slowed down and checked. Buchanan checked behind and in a defeated tone Hamby uttered "No pair."

Buchanan tabled 3 3 to take down the pot. That's right. Pocket threes. So sick."

Unfortunately we can't all be staking Gods, (and for the record, congrats to Thayer, thought he played really, really well considering his chip count). So, I guess thats another beat, I had 0% of their action.

But, they obviously took care of us and we had a free trip for my first time to vegas, and got to do it in style.

I bet he is a sick min bet player ready to crush the donkaments with his Daniel Negreanueaoauesk style of the call down. Calling is the new raise.
