First, the Leggo Party was, in my opinion, a great success. There were relatively few mishaps, only one fight, and only one person threw up in the house. Some of those things could be seen as positives to a great party-- it's a glass half full type of thing. I think it ended up really working out well all things considered and I'm sure that everyone had a great time.
I did an interview with chewy about his second place in the 5k shootout-- it went a little long, but I think it's entertaining (haven't watched it, just remember clowning during it), so it's in two partys at the end of this blog (and on the Leggo YouTube channel, obviously).
I played the Main today and busted on the last hand before the dinner break. Such a sad thing too, because I felt great at my table. I had David Sklansky across from me, two women, and the rest unknowns. A great, passive, tight-ish table. Felt like I couldn't lose, was playing ~60% of hands. Ended up busting with KK to a set of 3s on 732ss turn 8o in a button v big blind situation. Oh well.
I played one funny hand where I open utg with AQo to 300, button calls (middle aged guy) and sb calls (woman...dyke?). Flop 9h9o8h.. I bet 625, button calls. Turn 4o. I check, he bets 1200, I call. River 2o. I check, he bets 3600, I look into his soul and call. He says, "Good call, overpair?" His cards are headed towards the muck. I am taking as long as I can to show, but eventually turn AQ. He interjects-- "Well, that's no good." And flips 86dd. Sigh.
For those of you keeping score at home, that is 7 tournaments, 39k in tournament buy ins, and 0 dinner breaks. Another successful year at the World Series of Poker.
In other news, we put my buddy who barely plays poker into a $2k event at the Bellagio and he final tabled it. Rofl.
