A lot happened today so I hope you read the whole BLOG. At 12 noon we went back to Pawn Stars where the show is filmed. THey told me yesterday that the guys that are on the show would be there. When we arrived the parking lot was packed and there where people standing outside the store. While we were looking for a parking space Rick was coming out to get into his truck. When he pulled out of his parking space I pulled in. We didn't get to meet him because he had already left. We go to the door of the store and we are told that they are getting ready to film a episode. They were not allowing people to go in so I thought that I had missed out again. I was getting ready to leave when a girl from the inside came out and told me to come inside out of the heat. So of course I went in. She told us we could watch them film as long as we sat to the side. Before they started filming the old man came up to me and I got my picture with him. After that he went to the back and within a few minutes he sent a giant postcard out to me with the guys on it. He had signed it for me!! Not long after that Chumlee walked up and I got my pic with him and he also signed the postcard for me. Chumlee is just as comical in person as on TV. They then started filming and the item brought in was a civil war chest with many old documents in it. It looked really cool and the episode is suppose to air in three weeks. We then back to the Rio to get ready to go out. We had reservations to eat at the Stratosphere. Carissa and Amanda rode X-Treme. It was really cool being up so high looking out. We went back down to the 107th floor for dinner. The resturant rotates clockwise while you are eating. You get awesome views of the city. When we were done eating Brenda and I back up to the 109th floor to take pics of the view. It is really beautiful up here especially at night. It is such a gift to have eyesight. Then Brenda and I went back down to the Casino so I could get a chip from the casino so I played Three-Card-Poker for a few minutes. I'm so glad I did...I went on another winning streak and in 15 mins I turned $200 into $1200. Cashed out and we went back to the RIO. When we got back I went ahead and purchased my ticket of the PL Omaha 8 or better tournament. I stopped at the full Tilt room and they told me that Phil Ivey and John Juanda were on the final table so I went around and watched for a few minutes then went to the room to go to bed. Tomorrow at 12 noon is the next tournament for me. Wish me luck

  1. OK Donnie, enough is enough. :-) That is the 2nd time you have played 3Card Poker with $200 and turned it into $1200. This is my favorite game. You have got to tell me how you are doing this. It can't be all luck. Anyway, I'm happy for you and wish you luck on the Tourney today. You are going to pass on your tips to me aren't you???? Love you.
