Vegas June 2018 (WSOP)

Day 12 - Short run at WSOP DDS
Last Updated: 2018-06-20 13:38:27
Really short entry today, not much to talk about...
Did a little shopping Tuesday morning since we had time to kill. No pool, went to yet another set of outlets hoping for something different...nope. When we were at Kate Spade the first week we were told a new collection would be coming out "some time next week" (meaning this week) but I guess we were too early.
Lunch at the Bellagio buffet, which was quite good. We were very disappointed with it the one time we went last year. Food quality wasn't as good as it usually is, seemed like there were fewer choices, etc. Not so this year. Oh and they had ice cream instead of frozen custard in the ice cream machine. I'm not a fan of the taste of frozen custard, and when they have ice cream in those machines it's about the smoothest ice cream you'll ever eat.
Back to the room to pack up for a long night at Rio and out the door.
Didn't need to pack much, didn't last very long in the 4pm Daily Deep Stack (BB ante). I called a raise with 10-8 suited from a guy who was playing a lot of hands, definitely raising "any ace".
Flop 8-4-3. He bets, I call. I guess I could have raised here.
Turn a 2. He checks, I bet close to the pot, he calls. River a 5 and he immediately leads out. Obviously has an ace, I'm done. Already down over 1/3 of my stack.
Get some back, but then flop an open ender, try to buy the pot on the flop and again after I completely miss on the river but I get raised and have to give up (obviously) with nothing but air.
So with just over 1/3 of a starting stack and under 20 BB I look down at AQ after one raiser. I shove, guy next to me instantly shoves over top. Original raiser goes in tank, asks if he can still rebuy (yes) and calls. Over top also has AQ, lucky "can I rebuy" guy has TT. TT good, done.
Went back to the room, watched the live stream of the Poker Players Championship for a while, waited until dark to go see the Bellagio fountains, had some pizza for dinner and passed out watching a little more streaming.
#OnToTheNextOne
Wednesday will either be the 1pm or the 4pm at Rio. Depends on when we get there, I'm indifferent to which I play in.
