With another day off before the Main Event kicks off we decided to venture to the Las Vegas Outlet Center located just down the road from our condo.

Donnie, Eric, Mat and I arrived at lunchtime, and four stores in, Donnie and Eric had both picked up a couple of pairs of shoes each. We all picked up a few things here and there before heading to Fashion Show Mall to continue our shopping adventure.

We didn’t find too much and headed over to the Venetian to catch up with some mates, but instead found a $6-12 HORSE game. Donnie, Mat and I sat down to play in the one, two and three seats, and were soon joined by Rich after he finished work.

Me and Donnie had decided to chop profits 50/50 and after I turned my $300 into just over $470 Donnie walked away a little less unstuck as I really only pocketed $13 profit after a really enjoyable 30-minute massage.

There were many interesting and fun hands, but one in particular I want to share with you.
Chip Stack
During the Stud Hi/Lo orbit I completed, and found one caller, before betting fourth, was raised on fifth, check called sixth, and checked down seventh with my board reading:

7♥ 6♥ / 5♥ 8♠ Q♣ J♣ / 6♦

“I missed” commented my opponent, “just a pair of sixes” he continued.

I quickly looked back at his board to see that my Queen might play, and consequently was shipped the pot when he tabled his hand of:

7♠ 6♠ / 6♣ 8♠ 5♣ 10♦ / J♥

It was a truly sick hand to see a pair of sixes scoop in Stud Hi/Lo!

Main Event starts tomorrow!
