Bellabaaaarffgio Super Satellite

I should have seen this one coming. I have a pretty good track record in supers, but I keep seeming to forget that I can't win shit at the Bellagio.

Table draw:
Seat 1: 70s Porn Guy that kinda looks like a mini Sawyer from Lost
Seat 2: Random Old Guy
Seat 3: Cyndy "The Microbiotic Momma" Violet
Seat 4: Super SAG, seriously, this guy needed a fucking costume with SS on it
Seat 5: Little ole' me
Seat 6: Dave Redland
Seat 7: Cowboy Kenna James
Seat 8: Random East Coast Guy
Seat 9: Champie Douglas
Seat 10: The guy who showed up late and busted first

WTF kinda satellite is this? There's supposed to be 9 old guys that I don't know in this thing but I should have saw it coming while standing in line to buy in. Jason Potter was a few places in front of me (understandable since he got mugged making a McDonald's run down under) and a few places in front of him was Alex Kravchenko. Guess 4 place in the WSOP main event is only good enough for the a super to the WPT main event.

I also spotted Eskimo lurking around the line looking for donations. Most important thing to remember in a situation like this is not to make eye contact. Eye contact means that you will lose some money. Thankfully I decided to stare at my shoes for 5 minutes.

As soon as I sat down Champie says to me, "We played together before. You called me the annoying guy in your blog post." Referring to an old pokerwire from last years WSOP main event.

"Well, you kinda were annoying. They gave you a mini flash light at a poker table." I replied.


"JD," he said. "Today I'm gonna to make you change your mind. I'm a nice guy."

Champie is a nice guy he's just got a little to much energy. I'm entirely sure how he sits at a poker table for more than 5 minutes at a time.

Soooo... the super sat. Yeah. Not a lot to talk about. I think we started with 4k but it could have been 5k. At my best I was at 10k but then I couldn't keep the momentum going. 70s porn guy got a money shot in the face from the deck. He busted random old guy, Cyndy, and the Super SAG. Kenna must have had some stomach virus or something. He probably was only at the table for 10 mins in the first two levels but still managed to get busted by Dave Redland when Kenna flopped a flush and lost to Dave's bigger flush on the river. Off into the sunset the cowboy goes.

Our table got moved to the Fontana room in the 4th level and at my new table was Ray Henson who seems to be at my table in every tournament we play. Needless to say it didn't take long for me to get it all in with 33 vs AK and I was on my way home. Baaaaaarf. I'm going to stay away from Bellagio tournaments for a while. Maybe forever.

Next up... Vancouver BC and two WPT tournaments in the Great White North.
