Disappointing finish to level. Bricked AK, bluff failed on different hand, and to top it all off, I got KK on button as everyone was running to dinner, so everyone folded preflop.
Had about 140k three times, but walk away with 111100.
We come BACK at 7:26 PT.

Slipped back into the 5 figures after considering 3-betting KQs from the BB to a late raise, choosing not to, getting a terrible runout, and folding river.
Down to 99k

Pretty active level, including a strange hand where I had T6hh on a Kh2d4h board, got it in against short stack QJhh, spiked Td on the turn, and dodged his million outs on river.
Won & lost several pots, currently sit with about 121k.
Tough table at this point.

After all that, I spun my wheels that level, finishing with almost the same stack I took to dinner. 110500 going into the final level of the day.

Very mediocre day, began with 87k, reached 140 a few times, went to dinner with 111k, finished with 114k.
Average probably around 155k.
Need to run it up Thursday (tomorrow is off day).
I've now made Day 3 in 7 of my last 11 Main Events.
#pfa67
I had a mediocre Day 2, but I survived.
Came in with 87400, slightly above average.
Never really got a good run going. I reached around 140k a few times, but always lost right after that. I was constantly bouncing between 95k and 140k, usually in the 110s or 120s. I finished at 114k.
Average is probably around 155k, from what I can tell. So I'm below average, but not way below.
I'm guessing about 38% of the field will return for Day 3, give or take a few percentage points. Cash hits at 15%, so this will probably occur on Day 4.
I don't play tomorrow. It's the final day off, and then we play straight every day, starting Thursday, in a combined field.
This is the 7th Day 3 I've made in the past 11 Main Events I've played. Of the previous 6 Day 3s, I had deep runs in 2010 (88th) and 2019 (128th), but fell a little short of cashing in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2017. So I'm batting .333 so far in surviving Day 3, but when I have, it's gone well for awhile after that.
We shall see.
Day 2 reports are out.
I'm 914/1440.
36.75% of all players from 1A/1B/1D survived Day 2. A little less than half of players from Day 2ABD survived.
By Day 3 standards, my seating assignment doesn't look bad. Seat 6 is open and may be filled by a 2CEF player.
Elliot Smith RICHMOND, BC, CA 125,700 Seat 1
Ofir Mor WOODMERE, NY, US 196,400 Seat 2
Todd Witteles LAS VEGAS, NV, US 114,000 Seat 3
Stephen Moreschi Las Vegas, NV, US 85,500 Seat 4
Franco Gasparini Rosario, , GB 114,700 Seat 5
OPEN Seat 6
Deryl Taylor AUBURN, CA, US 129,800 Seat 7
Federico Quevedo San Costa, , CR 202,600 Seat 8
David Farber LAKE MARY, FL, US 162,500 Seat 9
I don't recognize any of these names, except for Elliot Smith, a solid Canadian player who has been at my table in the past.
The good thing is that there's no big stack, and only two stacks which are bigger than mine by more than 16,000. Neither of these players has position on me.
Payouts announced:
https://www.wsop.com/tournaments/pay...of=197988&rr=5
$8 million for first, $15,000 as the min cash, paying 1000 spots. 9th place gets $1m, 10th gets $585k.

First hand black KK, in early position.
Of course nobody wants to play the first hand of the day, and it folds around.
Just like right before break on Day 2 -- also black KK.
Sad!
Now have 120k.

Got AK shortly after the last update. Bad flop versus 2 opponents, check folded. Then I went through an epic run of trash hands for final 75 min of level.
Folded all of them except one blind steal because I look like a super tight rock!
195k at break. Return at 4:10 PT

Lost just about every hand this level, which sheared my stack in half.
Going to dinner with a short 95k.
Only about 300 spots from the money, but I'll need to start winning to make it.

Raised in cutoff with K4 diamonds to 10500. SB called his final 10500. BB called. Flop J55 two diamonds. I bet BB off. SB had 63 diamonds but caught 3 on turn. Ugly! He chunked off that 38k the next hand. Down to 82k.

Coming into final level with just 72k at 3000/6000. Just 12 bb and 5 rounds worth of chips. Needless to say, I'll be pushing. Just 150 from money, thus would be my closest non-cash in the Main if I fall short. Was a few hundred spots away in 11, 12, 13, and 17.

Had AQo three times,shoved 57k, all three got no action. Got it 4th time, 120k semi shortstack opens 17, I come over, knowing he's likely calling.
He does after a short tank, shows 66. Board bricks and I'm out about 50 from money. Painful.

This was the most frustrating Main result possible. Three long days, extremely close to $15k cash, can't get there. I even passed on shoving in other spots where I now wonder what would have happened.
This was my closest non-cash in the Main ever.
