ok poker fans we're back in exciting las vegas where there's one final stop on our quest for rewards:
harrah's.
i grab a $100 blackjack win to move back ahead $22 on the quest but it's all going to come down to the slots. twenty five tier credits to go and i choose a humble triple diamond machine.
good choice!
i hit a bar--triple diamond--triple diamond and retire with a $71 win as the machine hits the final tier credit.
against all odds i finish the quest ahead $93 and 5400 tier credits will soon be coming my way. i will have the chance to stay caesars diamond and to return to las vegas next year.
but will i want to?
because the poker that led me here has turned on me.
badly.
one game tonight: 2/4 over at
the pink bird and i'm sitting by a familiar face, a nice woman named lou ann who used to play at
charles town before she moved to las vegas with her husband.
we're having a good time talking about the mid-atlantic circuit and i'm actually doing well in the game.
with Q9s from the button i turn a full house before lou ann rivers a jack to give her queens full of jacks.
i "just call" and eventually hang on for a $3 win.
who says nice guys finish last?
