Decided to play cash at Bellagio yesterday as I didn’t want to do the six handed shootout or the 5k at Bellagio. Chugged along pretty uneventful for several hours, the usual up and down. Had nut flush cracked by top two pair who got the boat on the river, clipping me for a few hundred dollars. Then another hand with kings with an 8 on the flop, I push, he smooth calls, a 6 on the turn, I push he calls, putting himself all in, shows 9 7 for an turned open ended straight which catches on the river .. one of those days. As I climbed up to even and was racking up, I get aces in the small blind with several limpers. I raise, everyone folds except Mr. 9 7 offsuit. Flop comes 4 Q K, I fire, he calls, turn a Q, I fire and he calls, river is another 4, I check and he says $300. I insta call and he turns over K 7 for kings and queens and I show aces and queens. The language got abusive with .. ‘how the f#$%^ can you call a $300 bet with that board?’ “Because I put you on 9 7 again sir I say … he had the 7′ rack up his money and check out. The day ended up after all ..
