I got donked on the head tonight in a bellagio nightly 1k tourney...ouch...

one limp UTG, and donkey raises to 425(blinds 50/100)(UTG+1 donkey) action folds around to me in MP and i look down at AdKs off and RR to 1600 total...folds around to donkey who calls after acting all weak... Flop comes down q-7-3 all spades...He leads out for 600 and i shove for 3000 more... he says ok lets gamble and calls me...he flips over As-10c and turns a spade for the nutz...*sigh*

Why do people play such garbage vs me in the second level of a 1k tourney when I've been a knit all tourney so far...bah! Its not about the play post flop because hes 40% to win the hand at that point vs me if i dont have a pocket pair...So its all about the play PF with a-10 off...

I better run well in the main event tomorrow now...lol


good luck all.. I do know that Sirwatts and Steve Paul Ambrose are playing tomorrow as well... So waterloo and canada will be very well represented...

Move onto day 2...

They are doing better than the unabomber and the mouth. Both didn't get this far. As an aside Jennifer Tilly and Shannon Elizabeth are out too....

Why is first prize down to $8MM this year?
More seats being paid out than last year?

Apparently they redid the payout forumla that put out more money in the pockets of the other seats, flattened it out across the field more.

I still want to know where the missing $4m is?

There's nothing "missing".

4.2% is taken for entry fees
1.8% for tournament staff

4 million just sounds like a lot, but's a small percentage of the total prize pool.
