Crazy Day

Short update because I’m sick and busy and don’t feel like writing a lot. Suffice it to say yesterday was a roller coaster. I peaked at 377k in chips, which is a ton. Over 200 big blinds at the time. But after dinner, everything that could go wrong did. I ended up busting level 13, 15 minutes before the end of the night. After that, I jumped in line with Julius at the main cage to retrieve my wired funds and set up a tournament buy-in account. This allows me to register for events online (for a $3 fee) and print out the ticket at one of many kiosks, so I can skip the lines. I signed some paperwork and they said I was all set. This morning, late registration for flight 1D (which sold out) opened at 11am. I hung out with some people by one of the kiosks as we all tried to register, but the site was incredibly slow due to it being overloaded with traffic. Miraculously, I was able to successfully register as my new buddies were not. But when I tried to print the ticket, it didn’t show up in the kiosk system. I chalked this up to the Bravo system having troubles and tried again every 5 minutes for a while. But then people started showing up and successfully printing their tickets, and I suspected something was wrong. Currently I’m in line to verify my ID for the FasTrac system, even though the people at the cage last night said there weren’t any further steps I needed to take. Hopefully that fixes the problem, I can print my ticket, and not be too far behind in the alternate line. Should get a seat by 1 or 2 at the latest by my estimation. Here we go again!
