Cannes, San Remo, Madrid, and Malaga



My previous couple of months was so busy I've hardly had time to prevent and take a breath. After playing WCOOPs each day for a month straight, I packed up and went straight to Cannes for the arena Series of Poker-Europe with my boyfriend, Bryn Kenney. I STOPPED up doing pretty much in Cannes and finished second within the PLO event. It was amazing to have any such good result because I HAVE BEEN studying PLO for some time and feature worked hard on my game. After that tournament, I ULTIMATELY had somewhat of free time. I busted the primary Event pretty fast and was in a position to take a couple of days and revel in Cannes--especially the shopping. My biggest addiction is a store called Zara. I'm so obsessive about it. It is a Spanish clothing shop and has every type of styles, but it isn't that expensive, so once I go there, I destroy it! I AM NOT usually a large spender on designer labels but I HAVE TO admit that once my second-place finish I went to Gucci. I treated myself to a brand new pair of shoes and an exquisite scarf.

After Cannes, Bryn and that i went to San Remo for the EPT. By the point I got there, I felt a bit wired from running around everywhere, so I took a while to take a seat by the pool and revel in the spa. I FEEL because I already had any such big score in Cannes, I let myself relax more in San Remo than I usually do on poker trips. I FINISHED up playing very well in San Remo and was happy with how I played, but I lost a large flip and couldn't do much after that.

Our next stop was Madrid, where my family got together for a bit of reunion. I hadn't seen them for an extended while and was excited to spend time with them. My dad even flew in from Washington, D.C. to enroll in us. After per week and a half in Madrid, we traveled to Malaga, where I'm from and my mom still lives. While in Malaga, both Bryn and that i celebrated our birthdays--his is November 1 and mine is November 3. We usually take just a little trip, just the 2 people for our birthdays, but this year we incorporated my family into our plans since I hadn't seen them in goodbye. For my birthday, we're creating a big home-cooked meal with my mom, my stepdad, my sister, and her husband. For these occasions we love to head and purchase fresh seafood. Bryn loves red tuna and that i always attempt to get it for him when we're in Spain.

Otherwise, we're simply taking this time in Malaga to sit back before getting back to poker. Next week we're flying as much as Amsterdam for the Master Classics and after that, we're possibly going to Copenhagen for the WPT, after which directly to Prague for the EPT. After Prague, it's back to the united states.. to look our American families for the vacations. Bryn's family is in Big apple and my dad is in D.C. so it will be a pleasing East Coast Christmas for us. It is a lot of traveling, but I DO NOT BELIEVE I'd have it every other way!
