just got back from Vegas last night. I know it sounds redundant but there's a reason why everyone says it was a great time. Going to the bash and meeting all the stand-up guys only gets you interested in going to all the other bashes you see going on in different regions and stuff. a couple of you mentioned heading to the D.C. area sometime in the near future so please don't hesitate to shoot me an e-mail when you do. also, Rick, Wil, xpanda, marty, Dante, and everyone else who put this thing together can't be thanked enough.
awesome side story -- sitting 1/3 at Caesars monday night, at around 11pm some guy starts yelling and celebrating. turned out he had a Queen high str8 flush and it was announced on a microphone as the high hand of the day. I didn't pay much attn to the significance of this because i had a table in front of me. Fast forward to about 11:55pm. Dealer at the next table over yells "High Hand!" i look over and its my buddy who hits a King high str8 flush. they are giving away 1 seat a day on Mondays-Wednesdays to their Caesars Classic Main event ($1 million guaranteed, $10k buyin) tournament. needless to say the guy who had the Q high couldn't believe it...so it looks like i'll be back in Vegas next month to watch him bring home the mill
