This is a great picture. Right after being interviewed, Raymer walks by me. While snapping a picture, I stick my fist out there and ask him how much chips he has. He hits my fist and says "1.6 million" with a smile. Cool guy. Wish the picture wasn't so blurry.
I snapped the picture too early to catch it, but when Juanda saw I was taking his picture, he threw the peace sign at me and smiled. This happened probably half a second after the shutter clicked. Bummer.
Finally after saying my goodbyes to the poker room, I head back up to the room to pack up my stuff. After cramming my stuff into my two bags, I get a call from Magiclit at 6:30 saying she's already at Mandalay Bay. I finish saying my goodbyes to Mike and Warren and head over there to meet her. I had a great time hanging out with Mike. It was the first time I had ever met him in person. We talk online quite a bit and became pretty good friends before this trip - and I was glad that we got along well in person too. He's a cool guy - one of the coolest I know.
