#631 - Engulfed by Biloxi #1 - I Think I’ve Been Drugged

Saturday, 1:20 PM

I think I’ve been drugged.

I slept 14 hours last night. Stepping out of the shower at 12:35 PM, I put in a casual call to the tournament desk to find out whether the $1,000 + $70 NLHE started at 2 PM or 3 PM - I saw both online when I was back home earlier in the week.

“That tournament starts at twelve o’clock, hon.”

“As in twelve-o’clock-thirty-five-minutes-ago?” I asked, probably not in a very calm tone.

Pause. “Yes.”

“What time can I register until?”

“Until 12:45.”

That’s how my trip to Mississippi, the cradle of American poker and the Blues began.
