Well I made it to Canyon Gate Country Club along with my partner Craig about 8:15am pst. We had left my house about 5:00am so we made very good time.
The weather on the way up was very cold,around 34 degrees at one point. I was hoping when we got into Vegas the weather would improve and by tee time at 9:40 am it was a crystal clear morning.

We met Shawn for breakfast and off to the driving range to warm up. I was feeling a little tired but nothing a good strong cup of Java couldn't fix.

To make a long story short. This golf course is beautiful and very difficult due to the slope and the speed of the greens.

We had a great time,Shawn had to leave after the first nine due to the big cash game at the Bellagio started earlier than usual.Craig and I finished up and headed over to the Bellagio where we ran into, Joe Sebok,Barry Greenstein,Theo Tran,Jeff Madsen,Minh Nguyen,Michael Mizrachi,Eric Mizrachi and I gave them all our new charity event coins.

There are several other top names playing in the $2500.00 NL event today. The field was about 319 people. I was a little surprised it's not in the famous Fontana Room. It's in the middle of the casino by the cash game room. Apparently they are remodeling the Baccarat Room and the Fontana Room is being used for the Baccarat Players.

We are at the Bellagio with a view of the pool and the freeway,a hike from the casino. Its a great room but we are not going to be here much. Thank you Shawn for the Golf and the room!!!!!!

Well we are off to Planet Hollywood to play the $100.00 NL tournament tonight.I will let all of you know in the morning how the evening went.

Have a great evening and take care.
