PKR players begin their assault on the biggest tournament of the year
With the arrival of the Main Event, the atmosphere in Vegas has gone from fun and frivolous to intense and serious. Well, that isn’t true of everybody of course, but when more than half the crew disappear for an early night you get the feeling that for some of these guys it’s all business. At least it will be until the moment that inevitable knockout blow sends them to the Rio’s tear stained bar to drown their sorrows.
In the words of Andy Teng (golfpro699), “Hey dude, this event only comes around once a year; it’s important and I’m taking it very seriously”.
I'm sure most of the PKR players in the Main Event have been guilty of letting their minds run away with dreams of fame and fortune. One thing is for sure, any misstep made in this tournament will be hard to forget or forgive, so let’s just hope its coolers and suck outs that send them to the rail, rather than mistakes or misplays.
Those not playing the Main Event today will be congregating at james666’s Vegas Villa for a PKR BBQ. Can any of us really handle another night of excess and debauchery? Probably not if we value our health and sanity, but that’s the beauty of being a gambler; there is still a chance we’ll be fine, so let’s run with it and see what happens.
I’m sure we’ll get some funny stories and good footage from the barbeque, so I look forward to reporting back on whatever happens... I’m just praying they didn’t get hold of the boxing gloves and masks that were being discussed yesterday. Apparently james666 has a boxing ring and sooosick fancy’s giving PKR_Danski a pasting.
Viva Last Vegas!
