The 3rd of the Stack Builder Freerolls, with the winner getting a £4,000 Vegas Package, took place last night, & what a thriller it was.
For the first time, the biggest starting stack won, whilst 2nd & 3rd started with 3,724 & 2,634 respectively.
And what a finish ensued.
Here's how they stood with just 3 left......

Hard for it to have been much closer.

@cpfc_2010 & @miniman88 then got it all-in (sorry, I missed the hand), with @cpfc_2010 winning to give him the advantage heads-up;
@cpfc_2010 369990
@kapowblamz 275296
Kapow then won a few hands before it all went in, with @cpfc_2010 looking good with, I think, K-8 v the Q-9 of Kapow, but a Q high board sent the chips across to Kapow.
Very unlucky for @cpfc_2010, but fair play to kapow who moaned it in wonderfully after he had seconditis in various Vegas promos over the last month or two.
Really good Promo this, well done to all who took part, & to Sky Poker for coming up with what is a fairly original concept, & one which gives almost anyone a shot at winning.
Next stop Vegas....
@miniman88 got it in with the optimistic KK, and was insta-called by the monster that is A9...
A SIX bet?
Is that even a thing?
I once backraised someone. Long time ago, mind.
We plan on visiting some other places after the 13th. Perhaps hire a car, drive it half way across America and then dump it at a different car lot. I've heard you can do this?
Any recommendations on where to visit? I might want to drive away from the heat by the time the 13th arrives.
Any idea if booking a flight that goes to Vegas, probably from Manchester, and then returning from a different airport miles away will cost much different than a normal return?
I was in the BB with A9 and the SB limped, I shoved and was obviously called by KK.
As it turns out I "done a Bates" and hit a 3 outer.
I am lucky to have a niece who travels all over the world who has sorted my flights, she did it all on the internet checking various different travel sites. Kayak, hotels.com , trip advisor and a few other I can’t remember. Hope this helps.

WP! If it was me going, with a bit of a nature thang rather than too many cities- I would drive up the west side of Death Valley>Yosemite then cut across to San Jose( whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa , whoa, whoa, whaaaoooo...) but more importantly up to San Francisco- Golden gate with Carl and Alcatraz a must, then back down to Monterey Bay, past Palm beach golf(10 mile drive) and down the 66 mile 'Big Sur' (check it's open all the way, they had a landslide a year or so ago and a section was blocked) call into Santa Barbara with Mexican influences and Goorin Bros hat shop-TK will get that-all the way down to Malibu> Santa Monica> Venice Beach (aka Muscle beach, where I spend my days beefing up) and then anywhere in Los Angeles!
That would save trekking thousands of miles across country- trust me a lot of boring road miles in between ...seeing mostly California but hey, the most beautiful of states, with the option then to continue down to San Diego> then into Mexico if you have time with the option to fly back from LA ( Norwegian airlines is who we normally fly with - from Gatwick but 'think' they fly our of Manc...new planes, great service and relatively cheap...wish it was me going again- crazy place!- Enjoy!!
We're pretty much going to do exactly what you've said! Grab a car from airport hire on 13th and make our way over to LAX over the course of a week or so. Will there be motels we can stop at at regular intervals?
Vegas is utterly mind-boggling and I have no doubt you'll have a blast
