235 NLHE @ Caesar's Palace

Originally planned to play the Venetian Deep Stack, but couldn't get to sleep early enough to register in time (10:30AM is the safe time to register and not be late). (In hindsight, I could have registered the night before around 2:00AM, but didn't realize it at the time.)

-------------------
late registered about 20 min. into first level

villain 1: limps
hero: raises preflop with AdTd

Th3d3h
villain 1: checks
hero: bets 2/3 pot
villain 2: calls
villain 1: calls

Th3d3hJh
villain 1: checks
hero: bets 2/3 pot
villain 2: calls
villain 1: calls

river
Th3d3hJh8d
villain 1: leads 3/4 pot
hero: folds
villain 2: folds

Analysis:
Hero's double barrel may not have been smart as the board was relatively dry. Hero could have been representing 2 heart overs (ex) KQs)with double barreled bet, but it may have been a mistake to double barrel on the turn.
Lead on river made hero's hand unlikely to be best.

--------------
9.5k
level 3 - blinds 100/200

limp
hero: AQs
hero: raises to 675
sb calls
bb calls
limper calls

TdQd3h
3 checks
hero leads 3/4 pot
sb: calls
bb: folds
limper: reraises all in (PS Pro who "wants to gamble" after saying he probably earns more money playing SNG Satellites at Rio - he wasn't sure why he was playing this MTT)
hero tanks; hero calls
sb - calls

sb: J9o
villain: 8d5d (flush draw)
hero: TPTK

TdQd3h5c8s
PS pro loses 4/5 stack
sb - triples up
hero - out of tourney

With pot size so large, it's really hard to find a way to fold in this spot, even if PS pro (rarely) has a set.
Pot is too large (I have 1 pot sized bet left once sb calls).

99/108 (i was the 6th person eliminated in actuality, but there were additional late registrations after I busted)
