Few notes:

Blind structure was pretty good, gave you a chance to see lots of hands. I was disappointed that it was a two day event, although didn't much matter to me since I finished 27th.

Play was very spread out, there was a lot of really awful play that was rewarded and then a few descent players and a couple pro's.

The only pro's I saw where to my left and right, Joe Tehan to my left and I believe a local who won a WSOP bracelot. Joe was playing sloppy early and getting rewarded and the other gentleman tight aggressive. Joe was a really nice guy who I don't think understood at first the loose calls he could get, although it worked out for him. Anyways both players very nice guys, especially Joe (i believe i was the only player to recognize him. In fact I may have been the most obnoxious one other then a chosen few other thenthese folks everyone was very nice and polite.

As for me I was playing and receiving a lot of premium hands at first and not getting rewarded, tried limping and betting with monsters and eventually was not receiving any calls, probably dude to my own errors (SHOWED A LOT OF HANDS TO SET UP BLUFFS LATER ON AS I KNEW THESE CARDS WOULDN'T CONTINUE). A lot of questionable players went far, but that's cards.

As far as the cash games go, it was horrible experience. I had to wait 3 hours just to play a table and eventually decided to get loaded with some locals. I followed through with this decision and woke up to a terrible hangove. Anyways, good luck to all playing in the 5k.
