Right off the rip I won a quick $100 at the roulette wheel. Went downstairs for some poker, but there were only two tables open.  I sat down at a $1-3 NL hold em, $1-3 PL Omaha revolving game.  Within 15 minutes, I turned the $150 I sat down with into $480.  Then things went bad. Lost that whole $480 in one hand. Ouch. So I went and bought in again for another $150. Lost it real fast.  So I walked around for a minute, talked to Adam and Ashley, *almost* decided to leave then. down $200.  I decided, however, that I should buy in for my last $100.  So I sat back down, and proceeded to start losing again. Got myself down to $49. Then it happened.

I hear one of the guys across the table call all-in, and the guy he was against couldn't push the rest of his $800+ into the pot. He jumped up, yelled call and showed down 4 Aces. Nice hand. Very nice hand. Then the original raiser jumped up, even happier, flipped over his KJ of spades. Screamed out "Bad Beat!!!" as he showed his Royal Flush. Well fucking-A. Quad Aces losing the pot. WOW. But HELL YEAH!!! The hand qualified for the bad beat jackpot, which, unfortunately, was ONLY $20,600. So the Royal got ~$3500 after taxes, the quads got ~$7500 after taxes, and the other five of us sitting at the table? Well, we got to split the remaining $5170 - equal to a cool $1034.  

I absolutely could not believe what just happened. I was dealt a 9-2 on the button, and folded it. But because I did, I won over a grand.

So then I kept playing with that $49 I still had in front of me. Next thing you know, I quadrupled up, then doubled up, then won a few more, and all of a sudden I've got $743 in front of me. I cashed out, got paid my grand, and figured I better buy some breakfast for everybody.

I ended the session in the black for $1124. Not too bad for the 7 hours I was there.
