Here we go. $1500 PLO8. Table full of new registrants. 20k starting chips. Does not look like a good table draw. #pfa60

I've played this event once before -- 2018, when I registered 4 hours late (due to Day 2 of another event), and made the money. #pfa60

Got very lucky on the river & didn't realize it til hands turned over. Qc2c4x5x in late pos limped multi-way. Flop Q36 rainbow. Checked to me, bet whole way on Q turn & 2 river. One guy check/called whole way, showed AQ2J. Wow! Up to 28600 (started 25k not 20k, btw). #pfa60

It appears the event started 20 minutes late, so my registration wasn't as late as it seemed (still wasn't that late either way, and I started with full stack obviously).

I will possibly fire a second bullet if I bust. #pfa60

Guy who hasn't been out of line entire way check/called A49QJ board on flop & turn, then fired huge on river. I folded my A24T and he showed 35 while hiding other two cards. Lol! I assume he had it. Down to 27500. #pfa60

Dude two to my left shot off all his chips in 2 hands to the guy to my direct left. Must be nice. At second break with 24800, essentially starting Stack. Haven't been in any substantial pots since that very early one. #pfa60

Blinds 200/400. Open to 1k with As2x5s6x. Guy to left 3-bets to 3500. I call. Flop J47, giving me nut low draw & open ender. I put him on AA. We get it in, that's what he has. Drawing live to both, T/9 runout bricks. Out 1st bullet. #pfa60

I'm firing the second bullet for another $1500 and 25k chips. If you have my package, you've already paid for it & will have action. #pfa60

AQ82, got 3-bet pre, called. Flop JT3 rainbow, giving double gutter and backdoor low. Only had 17600 behind, guy bet 5200, coulda taken one off and put it in on turn if draw improved, but let it go. At break right after. Waiting for better spot. #pfa60

How bad do I run? 6 way limped pot in SB, flop straight on 985 board. I try to get it in and all five people fold. Like not even a low draw there? I have 12.5k. #wtf #pfa60

After falling as low as 9k, being card dead, and picking off a few small pots to get up to 14k, I got AQQ3 double suited, flopped QJ7 against A277, and am up to 34400 at final break. #pfa60

About half the field of 1,117 players had busted (including my first bullet), making the average stack about 50k. I'm guessing 168 spots get paid. #pfa60

Flopped big & trapped big stack into bluffing. He checked back flop, but I tried again on turn & he fired. He folded to my raise. Up to 44k. 477 left. #pfa60

The mystery of David "Bakes" Baker disappearing has been solved. He's playing the 50k at the same time! He missed the final 2 hours 15 min of play here! Why did he register to this on Day 2 of the 50k. Weird.

Day almost over, I have 48k. #pfa60

Semi bluffed the final hand multi way because I knew everyone probably mostly missed & seemed like they just wanted to be done. Finished with 59600, almost average. Return tomorrow at 2pm. See you then. #pfa60

Ari Engel is at it again. I saw him on the final break, and he had a good-but-not-great 63k. He finished in 4th place for the day, with 216k.

I also had somewhat of a runup near the end. At one point I was down to 9k, but finished at my high of 59600, winning the final hand on a bluff.

I did bust my first bullet early in level 5, however, getting it in with the nut low draw and open ended straight draw against AAxx, and losing.

A PFA listener and Druff package investor was also at my table, and finished with a short stack, but survived the day.

Here's my table draw, where I hope I deFEET David Williams:

Pavilion 306 1 Maxim Panyak Russia 111,000
Pavilion 306 2 Xiaochuan Zhang China 29,300
Pavilion 306 4 Heath Mendelsohn United States 23,200
Pavilion 306 5 Owais Ahmed United States 32,000
Pavilion 306 6 Todd Witteles United States 59,600
Pavilion 306 7 Julian Powell Australia 79,300
Pavilion 306 8 Lawrence Berg United States 45,100
Pavilion 306 9 David Williams United States 47,200

Not the best draw, as I got a good Russian guy with a big stack, Owais Ahmed (excellent tournament player), and Williams.

Aussie Julian Powell also has some tournament success.

Here's hoping I run well.

There are 417 left. 168 cash. Average stack is 67k, and I'm a bit short of 60k.

I cashed this event last year, but didn't run deep.

Had a bit of a nervous moment when my ID was missing! Fortunately they let me show other cards with my name on them. Owais Ahmed joked, "Hi Billy!" to me, in front of the floor man. I found my ID shortly after. #pfa60

This table, which is very tough, featuring David Williams, Owais Ahmed, and various other pros, will fortunately break fairly soon. Or so I'm told. #pfa60

Table has broken. New table in new room, seems to be a better draw. Did quite well at other table, going from 59600 to 107800. #pfa60

Short stack all in against my A248 with his A2K8 on Q43 flop. Unfortunately he hit flush on river to quarter me, as we split low. Down to 101k. #pfa60

Next hand multiway pot with AsKs9x3x where it was limped but SB shortstack made it 18k, one other caller, I reluctantly call. Flop beautiful 842 two spades. 3-way all in, turn blank, river 5h. I scoop with wheel & bust both. Up to 234k. #pfa60

Small correction last hand I had AsKs3x6x, not AK39. So I had 6 high straight & wheel low. Didn't matter though. One guy had set and short stack had garbage. #pfa60

Been bleeding at this new table... no, wait, I mean I really have been bleeding. My right middle finger was bleeding for unknown reasons, security brought me a bandage. Players concerned about possible blood on cards. Also bled off 45k, still have 246k. #pfa60
