I get down to the table and Garrett decides he'll quit for the day and start drinking with me. As I'm waiting for Garrett to finish playing up to his blinds, guess who walks by me. You guessed it........... Jamie Gold himself, 2006 WSOP Champion. He heads in the back room for a 50/100nl game that's going on. A couple other players I recognize back there are Phil Laak and Gabe Thaylor. I walk back and check out the table. Jennifer Tilly(the actress turned poker player) aka Phil's girlfriend is sweating Phil.(she was in "Seed of Chucky"- the crazy doll; and a bunch of other movies) I'm like the only one standing around watching the game. Jennifer looked over and I'm pretty sure she was undressing me with her eyes. I'm not sure. I went to see if Garrett was done cause Phil was there and I didn't want it to get awkward.
Garrett is finished. He cashes out and we go look for some drinks. We walk around, check out some sick, sick photos. They were like huge professional photos of beaches, islands, things like that. They were all lit up and it seemed like you were actually there they were that sick. I'm definitely getting a bunch of them when I get rich. We are walking around drinking, and decide we should play some blackjack. We are just kickin it playing blackjack, talking with other poker players at the table(basically everywhere we went there were other poker players who came to Vegas for the WSOP, so was pretty cool)
Quick interruption/funny story:
We are eating in a nice little place in Venetian earlier in the day for lunch, and we are eating at a table next to some basketball players.(not sure who they were) Anyways, a couple waiters are asking them about basketball or whatever at their table. Our waiter asks us if we play poker. No clue how he knew.(He said he thought we "looked like poker players.") I dunno how you can look like poker players but I guess you can. One minute later we are getting wayyyyy more attention than the basketball players. It was funny/odd. Our waiter told his waiter buddies that we were pros. A bunch of the waiters came over and were asking us about being professional poker players, etc.... Was really weird. The basketball players were left waiterless. Was funny in an odd way.
So anyways, we're hangin out with some other poker players, playing blackjack, ordering drinks every time we see a cocktail waitress. I am ridiculously drunk after a while of this, since I had already drank quite a bit before we started playing blackjack. Fast forward an hour or 2. I dunno what time it is, but some chinese girl sits down next to me and starts playing. It's kind of blurry from there but she tried to make out with me at the blackjack table, and turns out she got kicked out by the Venetian security. Garrett made sure to remind me of this and make fun of me in the morning, and many other times throughout the day. I don't remember getting back to the room.(I left before Garrett) I remember doing really well playing blackjack, but don't remember cashing out my chips at all. Did the chinese girl take them!?!? Did I leave them at the table??????(ohhhhhhhhhhhh shiiitt there was some poor dude who kept celebrating for me when I won hands and asking me for money. he rob me on my way out??) Who knows. When I woke up I quickly looked for my wallet. I opened it up and it was filled with money. Sweeeeeeeet. I was so relieved. As I jumped back into bed ridiculously tired and hungover Garrett starting counting out a bunch of money and handed me a big stack of $100s. Turns out I had lent him thousands of dollars the night before and didn't remember.
Good times.
