Back From The Dead... Well, Las Vegas Actually!

Hello dear reader, and please accept my sincere apologies for the blog downtime this week.

The truth is, as regular followers will know, I've been dossing in Las Vegas. A friend of mine won a seat at the World Series of Poker and asked me to accompany him on a junket (he qualified through an online poker site who paid for us both to travel and stay).

As I'm writing this, he is playing in Day Two, already a very impressive achievement. The biggest names in the game have failed to progress this far, including Amarillo Slim (I've now met him!), Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, and many others!

The down side is that there are still over 2,000 players in the tournament.

I've pictures and stories to share but, as I'm currently in the airport lounge (free wifi is currently my favourite thing on the planet - sad I know), you'll have to wait at least until tomorrow.

I've just been called for boarding so please accept this post as confirmation that I am still alive, and normal service will resume within 24 hours.

Many thanks again to those who've been missing me and emailed to ask where I'd got to.

Ciao pronto from Vegas baby!

Matt
