I’m back in Seattle, giving my mind and body a break from poker and Vegas. On my last night (Monday) I played the Caesars “double stack turbo” and made a pretty good run. There were 138 players and they were paying 18. I made the final table, but unfortunately I was pretty short on chips by that time - I was probably 8th in chips by the time we got down to 10 players, and I was happy to make the money jump to 9th place (by knocking out the shortest stack myself), but after that there was no reason to be patient, and when the blinds went from 10,000-20,000 to 15,000-30,000 there wasn’t even the possibility of being patient (I had 240,000 at that point), and I shoved with T9o and got called by AK and I was out in 9th place for $733. I busted out around 1AM, and had to head for the airport in 5 hours, so I just stayed up all night packing and stashing my car … I’ve mostly been sleeping since my arrival in Seattle 48 hours ago.

I fly back to Vegas early Sunday morning, and I might play the $1000 WSOP event that day, depending on whether I feel rested enough.
