Talking Stick Casino

My friend Don and I played in the tournament today at Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona.  There were 149 entries, I finished 39th, Don made the final table and took 8th place.  It paid 15 spots.  Beautiful, hi-tech poker room, swipe your player's card to check in for comps & to put yourself on the waiting list for a wide variety of games.  After busting out I put my name on the 4/8 Omaha list and sat down in the 3/6 limit game.

Sitting in the Omaha, I look up to see Hal, a player from Tri-Cities.  He is playing the 8/16 Omaha game next to mine.  Terrible luck, did not win a single low pot and had my sets of 10's cracked twice.  On a side note, pocket 10's was not kind to me today.  Knocked out of the tournament with them on my pre-flop shove and called by AK offsuit.  He spiked an ace.  Oh, well.

That's too funny that you ran into Hal down there. Also good to see what your friend Don looks like - good photo of both of you. That looks like a very nice poker room. I guess I'll just have to get off my ass & travel somewhere - LOL. I will be back to playing this weekend. Hope you're having fun on your trip!
