Binnions $100

This tournament offered 20k starting stack and a good structure with 30 runners. I love Binnions - it's so much of old school Vegas and the players are really friendly.

Shazbo played also and went bust 2 tables out having Ace of hearts on a 4 heart board but losing to a house.

I started seriously, and soon spun my stack to 40k, but unfortunately got on so well with my table mate Joe, that we ended up in a Jolly Rancher drink off (Vodka + watermelon) and by the time we both made the final table we were all over the place after 9 shots.

Dinner at Sage beckoned at 9:30, so since it was 7:30pm it seemed I'd have to wrap it up quick or go home. I was soon done in 6th spot, reshoving A5 from the button and losing to AQ. There was loads of play at the end though, so if it wasn't for the time constraint it is an excellent tournament, especially bearing in mind it is only $100 buy in.

I only had a 30k stack by then at 1k/2k anyway, and given three players had 150k stacks I was a long shot anyway.

Caesars tomorrow.
