Freddie Ellis won the 7 card Stud tournament tonight.  He is a regular in our Borgata poker game.  A bunch of us were there to root him on and he represented us well.  He is now the 3rd player from the Borgata game to take home a Stud bracelet in the last few years.  He joins Ben and Dr Mike for the Atlantic City pride.

We had a 300-600 mixed game at the Bellagio today which I played in for an hour.  Won about 3k.  Then Mike Matusow and I went over to Bryan Colin’s ‘9000 sq ft’, as Mikey likes to call it, over by the mountains.  I have never been this far from the strip in Las Vegas before.  We were there to play Chinese Poker and for dinner.  I lost 2k during this excursion, but that is a very minimal amount for the stakes we were playing.

On the way back I got a call saying a 2k-4k mixed game was starting at the Bellagio so I got dropped off there and jumped right in.  I played for maybe 45 mins and came to the realization that this game pretty much sucked.  I was playing with Benyamine, Ivey, Oppenheim, Kenny Tran, and Will.  I did give it a good 45 mins though on the hope someone else would enter that game.  That never happened and off I went.  Picked up another 32k in that game.  Still running good.  Made for a pretty nice day.

Prop Bets:  I won 1k in a last longer bet with someone in the stud tournament.  Tomorrow for the 10k mixed event I have a 10k last longer bet (must cash) with Benyamine.  I also have a 10k bet getting 2.25 -1 that I will make 2 final tables this summer.  That is with Bryan Colin.  Frustrating that I came close to winning that bet already with two 2nd final table finishes in the first two big events.
