WPT likes having v big first place, and lots of plaes paying. That is a very impossible combination, and because of that everything in between like 6th and 200th or whatever, is going to be peanuts.

19K at dinner break. I'm making plenty of mistakes but thanks to a 4 outer with 1 to come (two pair vs set) I doubled up.

Sirio is out.

I had like 5400 left in the big blind with 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]; a guy that have been raising a lot made it 625 with 100-200 blinds and 25 ante. I called.
The flop came A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I checked, he c-bet as usual and bet 900. I went all in for 4900 total, he taught and decided to call with K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and that was it.

The hand with the JJ, I raised to 300 with 50-100 blinds in MP, MP+1 reraised to 800, I called.
Flop came T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I checked, he bet 1300 and I called.

7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the turn, I checked, he bet 3000 and I folded.

Made it to day 2 with 56K. Not feeling great about my play today, but being lucky is fine with me. I never saw AA or KK, so I figure I'm due [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I just hope they hold up.

And no, I didn't flop any sets and get to check call all in.

I am pretty sure 2+2er James282 is playing.

Indeed, I am James Davis. Barron Gati(Dcifrths) is also alive with 36k. I have 41.4k and had the privelege of busting Daniel Negreanu(hell of a guy) and the Grinder(sleepy guy).

One notable hand, really early in the tournament and I have doubled up - another big stack who has been playing really weak who has me covered calls an EP raise and I call 22.

Flop is 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

EP bets, next guy makes it 900, i make it 3k with 27k, folded to the caller who instantly makes it 9k. He isn't the type to press a flush draw here, so I figure I'm only ahead of AA. I fold it, he looks disgusted and mucks. I guess we'll never know!

Meh, I view it as a lottery for the avg. donk. I have seen amateurs do well occasionally, and if I ever find myself in that situation, I'd rather swing for the fences. There's always the WSOP for flatter pay-outs.
