Winning a poker tournament, and Harry Potter in one night

I played the daily tournament at the Roxbury Casino and took it down for 390 dollars, not bad for a 30 dollar buy in. Things went very smoothly as I didn't really have to pull any tricks, as I got the cards and trapped the overly aggressive players, as well as the novices. The final table went very well as I headed in with an avg chip stack, a crucial hand is when i was in the BB with Jfive of clubs. UTG calls, SB folds, and I check. Flop is 10, 5, 5. I check, UTG pushes, I insta call. He flips over AA, I double up and take the chip lead, from then on I busted another guy when I slowplay AA. Heads up was pretty short as I had great cards. Its a relatively small win but ill take it.

Now on to Harry Potter! I went to this Harry Potter party as the Pacific Science Center called Spells and Wells, needless to say it was just a blast. All of the HP fans decked out in their wizardly best, the movie was just awesome and I cant wait to get the last book in the series. My favorite character in the book is Severus Snape, I really do hope he is on the side of Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix. Seeing this movie in IMAX was cool, plus I really liked the anti Hermoine, which was Lovegood, looks like Harry's romance with the asian chic quickly fizzled when she busted on him. Oh well thats all for now
