My Day 2 of the main event in Aruba starts in 2 hours. I’ve seen my table lineup, and it looks OK: no big names, a couple of players with decent records but nothing stellar, big stack on my right, short stack on my left, all moderately good news. There are 4 big stacks, and 4 stacks shorter than my short-ish stack, and nothing in between. I have enough to wound the big stacks but not to cripple them:
Sitton John H 12,025 30 1
Choumanova Marina 13,325 30 2
Stewart George 57,775 30 3
Hughes Laurence R 17,600 30 4
Curtis Brad 4,975 30 5
VanAuken Eric 44,050 30 6
Henry James 4,175 30 7
McNeil Michael P 43,525 30 8
Miller Jeffrey 63,700 30 9
The guy from PocketFives apologized for not being around last night - apparently he couldn’t get a good internet connection so had to go back and forth to his room, but he promises to be covering us today, and he’s started a thread for Day 2 Coverage.
There’s no way my table today can be as slow-paced as yesterday with the big disparity between stack sizes and the higher blinds, so there should be a lot of fireworks. My readers who have known me long enough (i.e. more than 30 years, i.e. my sisters) may recall that that used to be my specialty. Hopefully Larry “Gunpowder” Hughes can blow some stuff up without singeing off his eyebrows (again).
