Woke up early and walked across the street to the Gold Coast Casino for buffet breakfast. It is a great value at $5.99, besides Rio is way overpriced, not open for breakfast. We then registered for the 3 p.m. deepstack tournament with $235 buy-in. This is a great tournament with 15K in starting chips and 30 minute blinds. There were around 1200 entries (includes re-entries). First prize was about $40,000 with around 120 players making money. I played o.k., not making too many errors, but raising in late position with K/10 (that was a mistake) late in the tournament, I was called in two places. The flop was 8 high with 3 spades and I had the king of spades. A player bet out, was re-raised all-in by a big stack, and I decided to run with my draw. Had more outs than I thought when the first bet folded and the other player tabled 9/9. Yikes, how do you miss that many outs? Finished under 200th place (they do not update stats frequently until the bubble) at around 9:00.
I hung around for a while and watched the $50K buy-in player's championship tournament. Literally all the poker superstars were there: Brunsons, Ivey, Juanda, Hellmuth, Lindgren, Hachem, etc. Said hi to Umberto Brenes (shark guy), and Barry Greenstein strolls by. Hi Barry. Had some great pictures to post, but my phone died last night. Will add them later. Got some positive stuff to give you on tomorrow's post.

I don't think your raise was terrible at all. You had position and decent cards. Just a bad outcome. I do believe lasting as long as you did was awesome. That's a great showing. Can't wait to see more pictures!
