Walking to the event I most hope I win (aside from the Main)... the $10k Limit Holdem! I came close 6 years ago, but didn't quite make it. Not an easy event by any means. Follow my action on @DanDruffPoker #pfa72

We are starting with 60k here. Former Absolute Poker player StretchMcGee is here, and just beat me in a pot, then I beat him. Table draw good so far. I have about 64k. #pfa72

Pretty good start, as I have 79k after the first 85 minutes. Still way early though. #pfa72

Well this is a complete joke. I got moved off this great starting table. At a newly created one, which also doesn't seem bad, but I now have Negreanu 3 to my left. I was running well at first table & had great image and feel for opponents. Ugh. #pfa72

Table now full. Eric Froehlich is here, but at least he's to my direct right. #pfa72

Lost a few pots at new table, but hit flush on river in weird hand where there ended up being no showdown in big pot. Up to 80400. #pfa72

"Stretch" just told me on break that the table got even better after I was gone, and that the players there said they were happy to see me go! That's actually a big compliment. Still wish I was there. I have 80k. #pfa72

The bad news: I miscounted my stack earlier by 5k. The good news: I just beat Froehlich with kings full. Up to 91k (really). #pfa72

AQo in BB. UTG raises, middle pos 3 bets, I call, UTG 4 bets, middle 5 bets. I let it go, fearing I'm facing AA. Flop QT6, turn and river blanks. UTG had JJ, and I would've won. Stupid 5 bet. Down to 87k #pfa72

Those aren't laser beams in the background. Those are annoying spotlights which are reflecting around Amazon and blinding everyone in the $10k Limit event. Please stop it @WSOP. #seizure #pfa72 https://t.co/Q0RJo4PIwm

Just popped two 100mg caffeine pills because why not. Sitting with 113k after beating Negreanu in another. I have more caffeine pills for later and am not afraid to use them! #pfa72

9s8s against Fake Donald Sutherland, flop 995. Turn/river 6-6. Raised flop & bet/called whole way. Had lost 2 pots prior, but back to 108k. That was final hand of round.

Now playing 1500/3000. #pfa72

Froehlich, who had run badly all day, got it in with a super aggro guy to my left, AJ vs 85, and the guy made a straight. So Froehlich is now gone. #pfa72

Aggro guy to my left gets lucky after he 3-bets SB to my button raise, stupidly checks JJ2 flop, and we both catch pair of 8s on turn, where he had a bigger kicker. Down to 110k #pfa72

Not a good final 45 min before this break, down to 100k. Negreanu has an even worse 45 min, as he just busted out. Return at 9:45 to play 2k/4k. Guy to left is a weird combo of aggro and passive & is a pain in my ass. #pfa72

Certain aggro players pump it up pointlessly preflop. With blinds getting high, that's expensive. Just paid way too much to see flop with TT coming in with best hand, lost on QJx flop, winner flashed Q to me. Down to 85k. Now would be a great time to hit big hands. #pfa72

AJ against short stacked Fake Sutherland who put it in on a J9772 board. He never showed and dealer didn't enforce the rule. But I'm up to 103k and he's gone. #pfa72

JT on BB, called raise. 952 flop, check/check. Q turn. I bet, he called. 7 river. Check/check, and the table was shocked as my jack high took it down. Up to 110k #pfa72

There's a guy at this table who is very loose yet hitting every hand (not the one to my left, who is now short), and he has like 250k or more. The fact that I'm not getting crushed here despite that is amazing. #pfa72

In what has become a pattern for the past several hours, I failed to break 125k and lost the final hand before break. 113500 as we enter a 2-hour 3000/6000 level to finish Day 1. #pfa72

I've played this one well so far. The stagnation has been a result of mediocre cards. No regrets for the first 8 levels. #pfa72

Terrible level so far. Lost 4 in a row, including a big pot where the big stack rivered a straight. He also beat me in 2 other hands, one of which he rivered an ace (the first one we played). Down to 54k #pfa72

Lost another. AcJc against BB. AQJ flop, K turn, he fires out. River 8, I folded to his bet. This guy hasn't gotten out of line all night. Down to 43k. #pfa72

Isolated a tiny 9k stack with 33, the hand which has been super hot at this table. He had K7, making me a slight favorite. Of course I'm running awful so he flops K and I'm down to 29500. #pfa72

33 two from button. Raise to 6k. Cutoff 3 bets, Robert Mizrachi 4 bets. Crap. With just 13k behind, I call, almost surely getting my last 7k in on flop. Some hope with 965 board and two calls to flop bet. Turned out Mizrachi had KK & I'm gone. #pfa72

Bad meltdown of an above average stack in 45 min in level 9, but I didn't even tilt it off. Just dealt a lot of hands and they all lost. Another brutal final 3 levels for me -- 4th year in a row. #pfa72
