Hey guys, just writing here from my room in the Venetian in anticipation of the $10,000 heads up tournament at the WSOP saturday.  Right now i'm beyond excited for the weekend and hope to bring good news in a few days.  I'll try to update daily on what me and my friends get into during the next few days.  Today I rode first class on the flight here for the first time and it was definitely worth it.  I got off the plane not feeling tired or groggy like I usually do after a flight.  Me and my brother got in at about 10 AM and had a few hours to kill before we could get into our rooms.  I registered for the $10k and got that all taken care of and then decided to play some 1-2nl at the Venetian cuz I was tired of walking and wanted to just relax and not have to worry about thinking.  I ended up winning a little over $200 in about 90 minutes, starting out pretty tight and ABC and opening up more as the game went along and taking control later on.  No real huge hands, just a few medium sized pots and not bleeding chips off ever really.  Now I am just going to chill and watch the lakers-magic game (have $100 on LA -1.5), hopefully take a short nap, and then live it up tonight.  We got a table at Tao tonight which I hear is a ridiculous club and who knows where else we'll end up tonight.  I am not drinking tomorrow night with the tourney the following day so plan on getting my moneys worth tonight.  We're just waiting for ThePhenom to get in and then everyone will be here.  I'll try to update again tomorrow.  Adios,

Brendan
