Days 2&3: Jetskis?

If one more person asks us on the beach if we want to a coconut, jetski ride, or booze cruise, their lives over. Day 2 went well, besides Justin getting knocked out right before the end of the day. Lost most of his stack around 5 o'clock on a kind of move .

In mid position, cutoff+1, a player raised, and he called in the cutoff with K7s. The flop was 653, and the player led for about half the pot. Justin called. the turn was a 6, and the player bet, Justin raised, player thought forever and called. River was a brick like a jack, the player checked Justin bet 10,000 and the player called. A6s. Nh.

Finally went on the mayan slide you see on advertisements today. It goes underneath the aquarium, pretty cool. There's a tube slide that goes underneath but you stay under and get to watch the sharks underneath and around them its real cool. The nerf sharks are still our friends, and DC has been swimming with them daily.

Jaime was still in it starting today, he had 17,000 in chips. We'll see what he does.

Day 1: Shake Your Moneymaker
























Aside from buying large amounts of alcohol in a Bahimian slum, Nick jumping in the shark pool, shaking moneymaker's baby at the welcome cocktail party, and Danny asking Negreanu down the hall what he was doing up so late at 4:30 when it was actually midnight, it was a pretty normal day 1.

Atlantis is the absolutely ridiculous. This tomb spans everywhere and there is a huge aquarium that spans around and in most of the towers. We got in about 2:00 but after messing around in the cab for 3 hours we finally got to the hotel and checked in. The rooms are very cool, with walk out patios to this lazy river type water thing. Beach is a 2 minute walk from the room.

A drunk walk to the poker room managed to happen at what seemed like 3 am but was 9:00. Jammed with sit-n-gos and satellites, but no cash games. Strolling back to the room because the lists were so long, we caught up with Negraneu walking down our hallway with his luggage. Danny told him that he loves his blog of fulltilt poker and reads it all the time.

The Coral Tower is nice. The pool area near the room is basically a mini water park with a lot of beach chairs an expensive bar and gold diggers. Other than literally everything is pricy (internet, alcohol, food, water) its amazing. The sulfur smell from the well water from the toilet last night was the only drawback.

Oh yea, Nick decided to get blackout drunk and shake moneymaker's baby at the cocktail party forcibly hard. High five.

Flight day 1 is today, so after the beach I'll head over and see how Young Gun Gary's doing and see who else is around.

p.s. Monster where are you?
