This update is going to be short since I gotta bounce to Rio for the $2000 today. Just got into Vegas a couple days ago, played my first event yesterday which was the $1500 6-max and lasted about 6 hours. Value cut myself pretty hard in the first level and had to claw my way back to starting stack, then got my brains coolered out by a "live pro" which name I will leave out of this. Whatever, tournaments are stupid. Rio has had the most bomb ass cash games ever! They are running 5-10-20 with the 20 being the straddle on the button, action starting in the SB. Makes the game super juicy.

Pretty much the funniest thing I've witnessed so far was at a 5-10 game with Myth and PoorUser, where PoorUser is completely smashed and absolutely crapping all over this younger guy. Finally, On a

board PoorUser like double pot shoved the river after betting all 3 streets. The kid turns over

and obviously I'm thinking there is no way he's going to fold. Kid tanks forever as PoorUser keeps telling him "When you fold I'm going to show you JUST the Qd" and after like 3 minutes of thinking THE KID MUCKS THE 3RD NUTS. PoorUser insta shows the

and we had a good ROFL for the next ten minutes.

Anyways, if you guys are keeping up with the updates on pokernews or the WSOP site, keep your eye on my boy Jake Kalb.

He has mountains and mountains of chips going into day 3 of the $1500. He's 2nd out of 36, so hopefully he can bring a bracelet back to Palooooomar cardroom. Weee!!!
