IPO blog part 4 – Dinner drama

Thank heavens for the break. I was starving. Kojak and I headed to the players eating area. The two choices were chicken or beef. ‘What is the vegetarian option’ I politely ask the lady at the buffest station. ‘We have chicken or beef’. Ok ….I headed to the bar to see what they had. I was offered some pasta ‘but its not fresh, its yesterdays’. Nice! I figured I had to make the best of it and ordered. 45 minutes later, still waiting, we ask where out food was, ‘The chef has refused to cook for you, we aren’t serving vegetarian food today.’ With that I headed off to find a member of the tourney team and persuade them to get me a sandwich. Bless them, I got my sandwich.

As I headed out of the bar I spotted a familiar face., ‘Gutshot kid! How you doing?’
‘I just got hit by a car.’
What the f*ck?!!

It turns out he went for a smoke and was asked to move, as he walked away some one reversed into him (after they had reversed into a traffic cone already…). As he lay on the floor in agony she offered her apology by way of the following words – ‘you were in my way’. Our team were dropping like flies! It was time to go all in on the next ace.

As I finished my sandwich and peeked at my cards to see ace 3 suited I pushed my 4,500 chips away from me, confident of no callers. No such luck. Seat number 8 called my all in. He turned over a pair of twos and I hit nothing. I felt the table to a tut, a sigh and another evil look from Mr Nylon which stirred only one retort in me. ‘Byeeee! Soooooo great to meet you all! Best of luck!’ I didn’t look back to see Nylon’s reaction, it was time to hit the bar.
