Where It Started
If you are just joining us, please take a look at part 1 of our series. I won't regurgitate the beginning of the story here; instead we are going to jump right in where we left off... Burke on the cusp of fucking up his life because of his love for hookers and blow.
Vegas Baby, Vegasssssssss
Burke was now rolling with three stacks of high society. - That's a Rounders reference for you poker players. If you are a poker player, and have not watched Rounders. You are not a poker player. - Sitting in his first class seat, Burke was contemplating ordering another drink. They were free after all, so why not take advantage he thought to himself. But, despite the urge, Burke resisted. He knew that he had to make a 'to do list' for his time in Vegas. He wasn't there just to party, he was there to win the WSOP, and make a life for himself.
Immediately after checking into his room at the Rio hotel, he went down to the WSOP registration desk with 10K in hand. He knew that the most important thing was to get his entry into the tourney taken care of. After he did that, the next three weeks was to be nothing but partying and poker. And even if the next few weeks went to complete shit, at the very least, he still has his chance at winning the WSOP, and the 8 million or so for 1st place.
Entry Slip In Hand
Boom!!! Young Burke Dolma who was born in the small Turkish town of Ayran, was now going to play in the World Series of Poker. For a small moment, he wanted to call his parents and let them know the amazing news, but he resisted. Deep down he knew that despite his accomplishment of playing in a famous tournament that only few thousand people each year participate in, they would not care. They would still disapprove of him playing cards for a living, and disapprove of him being in America. So instead young Burke celebrated the only way he knew how...that's right, hookers and blow!! He was living the DREAM.
For those of you that have been following along with the story from the start, know that Burke has a propensity to get a bit carried away with his chosen lifestyle. And that is exactly what happened. Over the next three weeks, Burke would not only gamble away 20K dollars, he would have partaken in enough narcotics to put down an elephant. The days started in the same fashion as they ended, Burke lying face down in a pile of blow, with hundred of naked hookers sprawled throughout his hotel suite. On more than one occasion the hotel maid thought Burke was dead, and rushed to his rescue. Only to find him in a drugged out, sexed out stupor.
In this time, Burke was supposed to be playing the WSOP circuit games, and building up some savings. Winning the main event was no easy task, and it was certainly not guaranteed. But with the sheer amount of tourist in town who think they knew how to play poker, Burke should have been cleaning up at the tables. I know most people will blame the drugs for Burke's downward spiral, but drugs were part of the plan the whole time. He was supposed to stick with mushrooms and weed - the power behind his mad poker skills. Maybe even sprinkle a hit or two of coke, but to go on an endless binge of blow and ass was in no way part of the plan for success. Unfortunately for Burke, his demons took over his decisions, and he had officially arrived at rock bottom.
Please join us next time where we pick up with young Burke playing in the World Series Of Poker Main Event. Till next time, may your flops be donkeylicious. This has been a Lucksacks Poker 'Away From The Table" segment.
