Sunday

Today was nice. Dave and I woke up around 2 and walked around the city for a little while. We got into the city where all Spain's illegal immigrants sell items similar to what you'd find in a U.S. thrift store. They all have their items laid out on sheets that they can quickly roll up if the cops come. The cops came by and all of them scattered. It was pretty hysterical. We watched one guy run away from a motorcycle cop through the streets of Barcelona. After that we ate at a neat little place called "Sandwich and Friends." Finally, we headed to the casino. We were pleasantly surprised to see Dave still left in the tournament with double the average stack and 40 players remaining. He cashed in 11th and banked about 1000€. I never got anything going in the 540€ event. It was kind of depressing. There was a super hyper-aggressive Swede immediately to my right who was opening every pot. If this was a deep stack tournament I'd obviously be reraising him a bunch. Unfortunately if I made a play at a pot though I'd have to commit my whole stack. I raised some pots from MP with hands like KTcc and T7hh and then got raised when I continuation bet :( I was down to 1500 chips out of the 3000 starting bank when our table broke. About 5 levels in and at my new table my bust hand occured. There had been a ton of limping at this table and I had an extremely tight image at this one as well. The UTG+1 player limped and so did UTG+3 for 200 each. I found 56cc in the cutoff, and it looked like a great opportunity to pick up 700 chips. I sent my 1500 and get called in both spots?! Both players had AJo. Oooook. To tease me, the dealer ran off a final board of 2c 4c x x x, so I was sent to the rail. I came back to the hotel and played 10 $520s H/U on stars and went 4-6 :( I did run very badly though, getting 5 outted after the flop 3 times. Adam Geyer arrived and we went to the casino. I played some 5/10€ NL and beat it for 900€. We met up with THE___DRY (really cool guy) and had a drink at a bar then headed home. It's 6:15 am now, so I should probably get some sleep before my 5 pm local time (10 am US central time) match against Juan Sastre Durin.
