After winning 20k from Jon for the last longer bet in the Stud 8 tournament I lost a total of 40k to Abe in the same event since he got a 20k bonus for cashing and a 20k bonus for the final table.  He wound up in 6th place in that event.  1st for him would have cost me another 20k.  The 10k PLO tournament was the next day in which I had no prop bets going on which was fortunate considering this was my first quick exit from an event.  I lasted less than an hour.

During the last two days I was actually winning in Chinese Poker for a while but that didnt last as I went on a big slide right before the game broke and came out $49k loser.

Last night I played the 3k-6k mixed game at Bellagio.  Lineup was: Oppenheim, Benyamine, Patrick, Gus, Jen Harman, Ivey, Rafi Amit.   Mix was  Omaha8, Stud, Stud 8, Holdem, 2-7 Triple Draw, A-5 Triple Draw, Stud HiLo Regular, Razz.   The games was active and played really well but I was unable to drag any significant pots and lost 200k.  My first loss in the game at Bellagio this trip, but a bigger result than any one of my wins.

Today I will be multitasking.  Playing the $5k NL Shootout at noon and the $2500 8 Game Mix tournament at 5pm.

So after this huge downswing I am now negative 100k for the trip.  Still focused on the goal and will be trying hard to bounce back.
