Here goes…
Ok…dinner break ended and the blinds are at 300/600 with a 75 ante. Seeing as I am sitting at 6100 I don’t have much time to wait for a monster to move. Back from dinner break and I am in the big blind. 5 hands have past and I have not seen a card higher then a 7. Nothing suited…nothing connected. Total crap.
6th deal of this round and the guy under the gun raises to $2400. Everyone folds to me and I look down to find JJ. Now I know most of you hate the dreaded hooks, but i actually like them. I pause for effect and move all in for $4800. The guy in front of me also goes all in but has less chips. The guy who raised under the gun thinks a few and then calls.I turn over my Jacks, the guy in front of me turns over 1010 and the raiser turns of A3 of spades. I am feeling pretty good…thinking i have a good chance here to pretty much triple up and be sitting at about $15K and in position to make it to tomorrow.
Flop comes…
2h3h3d
Ouch…turn is
7h
Now I still have a good chance here…I’m holding the only heart…I only need a Jack or any heart and Tommy D is looking good.
River is a blank.
Good game everyone…have a good night.
So this journey ends there. Allot of grinding, allot of all ins (15) and an amazing time.
I got to meet or see many of the pros we all see on TV:Doyle Brunson
Chirs Fergeson
Eric Seidel
John Gale
Min the Master
Annie Duke
Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott
Humberto
and a few others but I do not know their names.
This has been an incredible experience. I will be back playing next year. Thanks everyone for all your support. I wish I could have represented just a little bit longer.
Till next time.
Tommy D…I’m all in!

Break #2
Well…some how I am still alive. I was up to about 4K but now am back down to 2300…I have been all in 9 times in the last hour but no callers. We have ante’s now and the are eating away. Need to double up twice quick or will be done soon. Blinds are 150/300.
But I have chips and my chair and am having a blast.
I figured out the pros name next to me is John but don’t know his last name and I’m not asking.
Eric Siedel is sitting at the table next to me and Devil Fish is sitting behind me.
There were 2700 entrants and we are down to about 1600…chip leader has about 13K. Chris Fergeson is in 7th.
Time to double up.

First Break
Grinding away is the theme so far. I have been up and down and lost a good size pot to a short stack who woke up to QQ when I had AJc and flopped two pair and he turned a set.
We started with 3K and I am down to about 2400 with the blinds going up to 100/200.
I won with AK preflop, with 1010 post flop and bluffed the pot after the flop with A high.
I have been moved twice. My first table there where no pros, second table had two pros I beileve but I cannot remeber their names but I have seen them before.
My third table I sat next to a pro but again I cannot remember his name. All I know is that he is british and he hugs everyone.
I will try and look then up later.
Now I need some cards or I won’t make second break.
Hopefully I won’t be back on here for a couple of more hours.

Tommy D’s in Vegas!
After a 2 hour delay in Atlanta I made to Vegas about 9pm and let me tell you one thing…111 is hot…I don’t care if it’s a dry heat or not. Good thing I will be in an air conditioned poker room for most of my visit here.
I checked in to my room late last night and was too tired to post but the rooms here at the Rio are huge and I have a great view of the strip from my floor to ceiling windows. I can see all the way from the Wynn to up past New York New York. There is so much construction going on stip right now its unbelieveable. I can count at least 10 high rise cranes from my window. Last time I was here was about 3 years ago and the face of the strip has changed so much already.
Back to the WSOP…
I will be starting Event #52 in the Brasilia Room at table 11 seat 9. It’s 8:30am here in Vegas…time to eat some breakfast and get ready to play.
Only 3 and 1/2 hours to go…
