Chad and Q go to Hollywood!!

Thursday, Chad and I took a trip down to Lawrenceburg, IN to visit the new Hollywood Casino. The drive was very easy and took about an hour and forty minutes. We had a great time and the Casino was unbelievable. Yet, the poker room was even better. It is sponsored by the WPT, and is absolutely beautiful. It is non-smoking at the tables and they have walk up fountains for all the Coke products you can drink... which is right up my alley. We played in the $60 + $20 No-Limit Hold'em Tournament. Chad made a nice run and was the chip leader with about 12 left to play. There were 55 entries. Chad eventually busted out 7th as the "Bubble Boy". They only paid top 6. First place paid almost $1,450. The remaining 6 guys at the final table all chipped in and gave Chad back his entry fee. It was a nice gesture that was well deserved. I on the other busted out in 30th place and I played about 15 hands. I have never been so card dead in all my days, which sent me to the rail and eventually...the jackpot. I sat in the $1/$3 no limit cash table and turned $300 into $650 in about 2hrs. It was a pretty weak game and I look forward to going back. So all in all we had a great time. We plan on going back soon, but for me it will be after our new baby arrives. See ya next week.
