QuietConfidence 0 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Priceless moments from my week-long trip to vegas:- Playing with Steve Dannemann at the Bellagio, getting drunk at the table with him, running into him later when he proceded to pay for breakfast. A really great and fun guy.- Seeing Doyle and Todd Brunson, Farha, Greenstein, Reese, Ivey, Gus, Chau, Harman, Luske, Scotty Nguyen, etc, etc, etc. They were all there for the WPT Championship.- Doyle almost running over a dude with his motorized wheelchair. He uses it to go to the restroom going full throttle and doesn't stop for anyone. Classic.- Playing with the guy with played with his foot at last years Main Event (can't remember his name).- Gavin Smith came to our table to say hi to Dannemann, grabbed and looked at the hole cards of the guy sitting next to Dannemann and told him "Let me play this hand for you". Raised $25 with Qd4s, then called a $100 raise, called $150 on the flop with a flush draw, called $350 all-in on turn with straight and flush draw, missed and lost to AA, pulled out $600 from his pocket, gave it to the guy and left.

Gavin shorted the guy $25. I would have had to kick his ***. Link to post Share on other sites

brabz 0 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Best visual ever of Brunson speeding around a casino on a motorized wheelchair...hilarious. Sounds like a great time. How'd you do playing? Link to post Share on other sites
QuietConfidence 0 Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 I was playing $2/5 NL ($200 buy-in) when Gavin came to the table. I also played some $5/10 NL ($400-1000 buy-in). There's some crazy action in that game, like people going all-in blind for $1k preflop. The $2/5 game is very rocky.I won $1300 for but I had a blast. Link to post Share on other sites
