So i arrived in Vegas on Saturday night after a nightmare flight from the UK. Nearly missed my connecting flight in NYC because of the massive lines at immigration. I’ll be attending some sessions and playing in the poker tournament in Wednesday night, would love to meet more people so if you read my blog […]
