Poker Tournament First Pics

Written by dk / Posted in pubcon poker tournament / 3 Comments

The poker tournament, just like last year was fantastic and fun. Even though it was a little bit of hard work behind the scenes the players and guests had way too much fun.

Thank you Venetian for stressing and strugling with me to pull off such an amazingly fun event!

We had a non stop party that rolled until 3:00 a.m. starting Thursday night and ending Friday morning!

There will be more about it later, but tonight (Saturday), bleary eyed coming home from the Couture party after the fight, I am going to post a few pics then go to sleep.

The oddest moment tonight, was that after the after fight party, sitting with Martin Kampmann the pro fighter, and my wife in the valet, we figured out that Martin was Danish and had only been in the country for 2 years. I told him he sounds like he is from Chicago, and then him and my wife spoke in Danish and Norwegian to each other!

Look here to see more of Thursday nights poker pics!

Going to Couture Fight

Written by dk / Posted in pubcon poker tournament / 0 Comment

My wife bought me tickets for X-mas present.

Just bought two pairs binoculars.

Know Mediadonis will be there.

Bringing chocolate!

How many times in your life do you get to go see the fight for the best fighter in the world, with your pretty wife, going to see great friends, and get invited to the “After Randy Wins!” party by his coach.

Thanks Shawn!

So excited I am going to pee in my pants.

This excitement brought to you by Shoemoney Tools! (Thanks Jeremy!)

Randy Couture and our poker tournament!

Written by dk / Posted in pubcon poker tournament / 1 Comment

It is 5:40 in the morning and I am about to go to sleep at the end of quite a week of Pubcon.

The saddest part of Pubcon is that it is over so quickly.

I feel like I wait all year for it, then it is a whorl wind of confeti, with great glimpses of beauty, and then with a breath it is gone.

I got to make an appearance with an x-treme Couture fighting outfit on, including gloves. We had pro fighter Mike Whitehead come out to play to represent the X-treme Couture GI foundation. Mike is an amazingly fun and loving guy, who is always ready with a joke, and a smile for the camera.

Every big name you could imagine came out, including Alex one of the two founders of Azoogle, and Ken CEO of Epiar. Alex creator of Easy Tweets played, and so did the BOTW team. Michael of Planet Chiropractic was on hand to keep an eye on things, and Master Shoemoney and his programmer Dill (See I am blogging every day now!), were deep into the game.

In a big upset Shoe got knocked out before the big table.

Brian Ree took home the first place cash prize as well as almost $1,000 worth of Chipotle certificates!

Ken Huffer took second place with his cash prize as well as almost $500 worth of Chipotle certificates.

Gary came in second place followed by my good friend Brian Chappell.

We had lots of of superstars stop by including Sugarrae.

I am happy to say that there were a lot more females playing and visiting since last year.

Thanks to the sponsors and the Venetian, we got an open bar for all the players that lasted into the morning. Especially with the economy a little out of breath, this was way above and beyond!

It must also be mentioned that Ken Jurino threatened to wear a bright orange Zoot Suit to the event. I thought he was joking, until I saw him in line wearing just that! He brought a matching hat for one of the models. There will be more pictures to follow.

Stay tuned for lots of pictures and talk from our trip to Pubcon.

My staff were a huge hit, with literally dozens and dozens of people taking the time to tell me how great my staff were and what a great job they did. Obviously people loved the models, including Kate!

I am allready looking forward to next year.

I am super grateful to our sponsors for giving us the chance to do this.

Much Love,

now off to sleep!

Roseanna, Mandy and Jenny! Thank you so much for giving one for the team. The three of you worked so long, and so hard, and did such a perfect job, that the three of you will probably be the most memorable part of Pubcon for many. You have been such a shinning example of how people should be, and are a shinning light to lead people out of any bad economic times that might hit us. You inspired, and brought smiles to many this week!

Poker Tournament tonight to raise dough for X-treme Couture Foundation!

Written by dk / Posted in pubcon poker tournament / 0 Comment

Just got final approval from Venetian!

The tournament will now offically be a charity event!

$60 from your entry goes to the Xtreme Couture GI Foundation.

I have seen them buy expensive, bad ass running legs for American Marines and Army guys who have gotten their legs blown off in Iraq.

I am a total anti war guy, but love to help those who have worked to try to help me.

So let’s play some poker, and raise some money for some guys who have it touger than us!

And Randy! Kick the living crap out of Brock this weekend!

(More spots opened up for poker after sell out last night.)
