I played in 4 events and cashed in one - came in 22nd in the 500. Won some money playing cash, so overall a slight loser for the week.
Sick part was that if Atlantic City casinos issued tax forms based on the actual payouts, we would have made a 24 handed deal with everyone but the chip leader taking around 8500-9000 and the massive chip leader taking twice that much and the bracelet. This worked out to somewhat better than 7th place money for everyone else and slightly above 4th place for the chip leader. I even offered to take the 73K 1st place tax form for a slight consideration from everyone, but that still left 38K, 20K, etc., so no deal.
No major hands - best resuck was when I was all in with QQ vs AQ and A7. A on the flop, Q on the river to stay alive.
Saw someone make a ridiculous move when we were 25 handed. The chip leader was basically calling any single raise below 50K with any 1 broadway card in his hand, and if he had a King, he LOVED it. He was also hitting every freakin flop. But, when he raised, he actually had a hand. Blinds are 4K-8K with a 1K ante. Under the gun, who has approximately 240K (average stack is around 150K at this point), makes it 40K to go. The chip leader (who has around 550K), and the only person at the table who can felt him, makes it 140K, basically committing himself if the original raiser pushes in. The original raiser does push in and turns over the premium hand of A2 SOOTED. Chip leader's pocket 9's hold up and he now has a little over 800K.
Last hand I played was folded to me on the button and I pushed in for about 60K with A9 SOOTED. Chip leader is the small blind and looks at K5 offsuit, says "I LOVE this hand (he wasn't joking)." and calls. Big blind calls as well, but never showed his hand. Flop comes KQ9, no help on turn or river, and IGHN. Note that I'm not saying it was a bad call, just liked the comment about LOVING the hand.
AFAIK, they actually never made a deal, and the chip leader (at the time) wound up coming in 3rd, so actually made a little more than the deal offered, but didn't get the bracelet.
I hate that I'm not in Vegas right now (long story), but hopefully can get there.
Going back on Thursday to try to win my way into the 5K event which starts on Sunday.
