CAESARS PALACE to play some poker.
NBA basketball star TONY PARKER and
EVA LONGORIA from Desparate Housewives
were both there playing poker.
We actually saw several NBA players all
around Vegas, they sort of stand out,
but I dont follow basketball enough
to recognize their faces.
Sat down, first hand, I made QUAD SIXES,
got paid +$124 from the high hand jackpot.
Ended the poker session up +$180.
Jeff made a nice +$530 profit, alot of which
came off of Tony Parker's brother.
Not bad for his first live casino cash game.
Gina was kindof card dead but managed
a +$60 profit. Overall, pretty good for a
150 minute session.
Jeff taking full advantage of
the open alcohol laws.
Went back downtown and played some
$1/2NL at the GOLDEN NUGGET.
Was seated at a table with legendary
Vegas comedian VINNY FAVORITO.
Very solid player. He made some really
good laydowns (layed down his set to a
flush, layed down small straight to a
bigger one). He made a big laydown
against me in a $150 pot. I limped in
with AK (as i've been know to do)
and made broadway on the turn.
He layed down a set of 10's on the
river saying "you played that
like you have Ace Fuckin King".
I collected the pot, mucked my cards
face down and unsuccessfully tried to
convince him that he was wrong....
saying "who would limp with AK ?"
Vinny's been the feature at O'Shea's
on the strip for a few years, but just signed
a big contract to play 6 nights a week
at the FLAMINGO. I will definitely
have to catch his show next trip.
