Doubled the 3000 starting stack by the first break. At the 100 - 200 with 25 ante, I had a series of small beats that reduced my stack to 2050. I picked up pocket kings under the gun and went all in. Everyone folded to the sb who called for his last 1900 with ace 5! Of course, he caught the ace on the flop and I was down to posting my last 50 in the bb. Had 3 4 and flopped a 3, but someone rivered a pair of 10's and I was out.
Russ refused to back Terry with me for this tourney despite the fact Terry made us money in the Binion's HORSE. So, I gave him $600 for a 50% share. Terry lasted an hour longer than me. When I went out there were about 700 of the 2218 starters out. When Terry went out about 1400 had been eliminated. The small starting chips (3000) meant a quick out for lots of players.
Went to Wynn and played 2 - 5 nl. Very tight game. I dropped $700 but was able to win back $500. Went home for nap, then went to RIO and played 2 - 5 nl and lost $30.
