Sunday we had the registration and meet and greet for the Online Forum Challenge events. Players checked-in between 5pm and 7pm. After check-in there was a party up in Gold Diggers night club at the Golden Nugget.
I helped check in players, so I got a great opportunity to see all the players. It was nice to put faces with the players you play with for so long online. There were quite a few I was looking forward to seeing again and meeting for the first time.
After the registration, several of us, including the great pro Lou Krieger, went down to eat some dinner before heading up to Gold Diggers. Lou is a very friendly and down to earth individual. He has authored about a dozen books on poker. You can hear him every Thursday night on Rounders Radio. I am thrilled to have him as a new friend.
After dinner we headed up to Gold Diggers. Holdem Poker Chat provided bottles of Grey Goose vodka for everyone representing his forum for the tournaments this week. Needless to say, things got crazy after a while. It was such a blast to kick back, dance, laugh and have a ball with everyone. Couple people (I was not one of them) had to be wheel chaired back to their rooms at the end of the evening due to too much alcohol consumption.
I did my usual and took a ton of pictures but ended up breaking my camera. :( I dropped it and the screen is broken and no longer visible. I have a memory card so the photos are saved, but my camera is useless now. UGH
All in all, it was a fun and crazy night.
