Went to Aria tonight. Iveny Invitational pre-party thing. 275 runners all going after 1,000,000 dollars in prize money. It will be over
fast (6 hrs) so I expect to see gamble style poker. Should be a lot of fun. (Starts manana - Sat - at noon.)
Cool highlights.
1/4 mil for first place
If you win you get a shot at another qtr mil if you can beat Ivey in a heads up match afterwards.
There are many bountys. (Jennifer and I are two of many. Everyone's bounty is for 5,000 dollars. Sick.)
And should you be lucky enough to knock out the man himself (Ivey - obv) then you will collect a cool 100,000 dollars.
I am very happy for Jennifer as she is at the infamous table 17! This is Ivey's table. Wow. (I am at table 14, and I have no
idea who will be at my table.)
The rumor mill at the pre party (Duece - at Aria) was that there are only about 25 pros or so in the event. (Out of 275). That is cool.
The gift bag was righteous. I-pods, a set of headphones, and some knick knacks. (The head phones are super phat high tech comfy style ones.)
And what else... I don't know. Oh yeah... I am going to give a shout out for my girl... I would love it if she got picked for the
WSOP tourney of champions thing. Here is the link ----------> http://www.wsop.com/TOC/
I will give a twitter update (realphillaak) manana if anything interesting happens.
Later all my degen friends.

P.S. Interesting door locks for the rooms at the hotel over there. Just a flat thing that you put your key up to and presto, door opens. We are in the future.
I already knew we were in it, but it is nice to have little things like this pop up from time to time to remind you.
