Day 4 (Wednedsay)

Couldnt face any tournaments today after the full effort long slog the day before so this ended up being more of a recharge day really. After a couple of hours by the pool including lunch i had to head off to the Rio to get my mansion gear and my seat card. After looking around a bit to locate if much has changed and get my bearings i head to the accommodation tower on the 9th floor and get my mansion stuff. When im there the lights go out and emergency stuff kicks in but when i walk back to the elevator its pitch dark in 2/3 of the corridors and when i locate the fire escape stairs its completely pitch black !!! After 5 mins or so an american comes by with a penlight torch so i head off down the stairs following him. When we reach the bottom its still pitch dark with a green exit sign at the end of a 100 metre or so flat tunnel, eventually coming out round the back of the Rio. When i go back in its clear a proportion of the building is out but of course the casino is fully functioning, yeh get your priorities right LOL.

Anyway i go get my seat card and im in seat 9 of table 11 on day 1B (Saturday as requested). Excellent hopefully if i do last its such a low number it probably wont split all day which is a good start.

Taxi over to Caesars then and spent 3-4 hours on a cash table before going for a meal then another 2 hours after as well. Broke even for the second session but made $170 the first one so got back some of the day before tourney buy in. Im surprising myself how much easier im finding the cash tables than i did in Feb out here, i seem to get better reads and feel a lot more comfortable playing than ive done before which is great. I'll almost definitely play 2/5 a bit towards the end of the trip and stake all my money left as its a unlimited buy in. Apparantly in the Wynn you can sit on a 1/3 cash table with unlimited buy ins and people are known to have up to $10,000 at a time there !!!
