I’m pretty sure this was the toughest day 1 table I’ve ever faced in the main event of the WSOP. Things started off badly, in fact I raise-folded the first hand (I had 66 and probably should have called to set-mine, but his 3-bet was pretty big and I just didn’t feel like playing a bloated pot out of position on the very first hand of the main event). Soon after that I lost a pot with KQs on a king-high flop - check-call on flop, turn and river, where the river brought top-two pair to KTo. Blecchhh.

I got down as low as 22k before things turned around, with AK vs 44 on a 47AAK board. I got as high as 77k after flopping a set of Queens to crack Aces, before a minor disaster took me down around 50k.

There are a lot of stories, but now I must sleep. I picked up some chips near the end of the night and in the end, bagged and tagged 61,500 chips, just over double my starting stack. I can’t remember if I’ve ever had over 60k before at the end of day 1.

I am completely wiped, and looking forward to gorging at the Wynn brunch buffet with Team Huge in about 9 hours.

Thanks for all the twitter support. My day 2 will be Monday, when we will join up with the survivors of Day 1a.

Stay tuned.
