Congratulations to my good friend Dan Glimne for taking 3rd in Poker-SM main event. He's been on a roll lately and he deseves a nice score. He fought good at the final table but couldn't dodge a bullet when he hit 2p vs a straight against the chipleader and he ended up winning something like 7k€, which isn't by any means bad.
I think he had around 25 or 30 big blinds at the last hand. Chip leader raised button, sb called and Glimne called with a jack and a nine. Flop came QJ9 and the Chip leader bet his straight and shipped against a raise. The board bricked and that was that. Just a few hands later the CL got AJ in against Kings in the Heads Up and managed to flop not only one but two aces and take him the first price.
After railing the final table and having a fairly bad hamburger and quite a few drinks me and the girl went to some fairly artsy bar and had a few bottles of wine togheter with Dan who joined us after a while. Drank to much wine and spent the next day recovering.
Riga overall seems like a suprisingly nice place. The resturants are so-so and the service is sometimes very bad but mostly good. The resutrant at the Royal Casino really sucks and the guy who took our orders there might have been the worst piece of crap that I've ever run into at a resturant. And that includes Mcdonalds at 4 am in the morning. Other then that the Casino has very little cash game action (it's apperently at another casino) but as far as dealers and service it seems really good.
Shopping seems ok and the people who works at the Hotel (Radisson Elizabet blue) are really nice. Probably among the better I've been too and overall I feel that it's one of the more comfortable and nice hotels I've lived in. There's a few small annoying things but nothing that bad.
I'm a little bit bored and just want the tournament to start already.
