First hand right into the blind. Second hand on SB, just got aggro right in a Euro guy's face, and won. Same thing next hand. Right up to 64500 in first minutes of play (I just got here, technically it started 30 min before.)

I have a weird record in the Main from 2010-2021. Out of 11 entries:

2 deep runs (88th & 128th)
5 near-bubble finishes (!!)
3 Day two busts
1 Day one bust

Last year I finished a brutal 50 from the money. #pfa70

Lost a few pots to that same Euro. I have position on him but he loves overbetting, and I keep missing or getting bad rivers. Down to 55600. #pfa70

Guy with odd play style who enters a lot of pots makes it 1100 pre on 100/200/200 blind level. I flat with AhQd. Flop Q86 two hearts. He bets, I call. Turn Ks. He checks, I bet, he calls. River Th. Ugh! Check/check. But he had Q7 diamonds & I win. Up to 59k #pfa70

Construction noise is horrendous. How they could allow this at the WSOP Main Event is beyond me. I realize WSOP doesn't control construction team, but this is where planning & logistics comes in. #pfa70

Table draw isn't particularly good, though I seem to have position on two most aggro players. Another guy joined table who is also a Euro pro.

In 2019, I got all over-50 rec players!

Sad! #pfa70

Already a fair number of good hands dealt to me -- AcKc, 55, 88, KsJs, AQo, and now AhKd. Raise early, Euro woman 3-bets. Flop 9s9c2s. She bet small flop, I called. 4s turn, 5h river, checked both. Win. Back over starting stack to 61k. #pfa70

Tight player opened middle position to 700. Loose player 3-bet to 1500. I had AJo in SB (200) and folded. Flop KQT. C'mon, man!

Three bettor had AJo also, so I wouldn't have made much (he showed).

I sit at 62k. #pfa70

Shitty split. I hate chopping the nuts in ring games they still charge rake at regular amount. Gl bud

Euro pro opens to 800 late, I flat from button, SB (Brazil pro) makes it 3500, we both call. Flop Ad7d8h. SB checks, euro fires 4500, I go 12.5k, both fold. Someone said I had set of 7s.

So far my decision to enter today instead of tomorrow hasn't been a good one. We come back at 7:00. Disappointing start but I still have 75 BB so it's not desperation time yet. #pfa70

That shaved me down to 61k. Ugly. Never ran into a flopped straight flush at the WSOP before. I currently have 64k. 34 min to play. Looks like this will probably end up a mediocre day.

Sad!

Ac4c in SB. Called raise pre from early loose raiser, BB called. Flop QT3 two clubs. Checks around. Turn 5s giving me gutshot draw too. Bet 2700, BB raises to 8200. Consider shoving (we have similar stack) but call. 5h river, checked. He had KJ. Down to 45k. #pfa70

Bruised pretty badly in last hour at WSOP Main Event. Went from 102k down to 44.8k, mostly thanks to flopping middle set against a straight flush. Nevertheless I move on with 56 BB to Day 2. #pfa70

Didn't expect to run into a straight flush on the flop. No way to get away from it because the guy only had low-20,000s left in his stack after he flatted my flop bet, and the others all had folded.

Even had the board pair on the river, but our money was already in on the turn, and I knew I was drawing dead. Brutal. That's the first opponent flopped straight flush against me in my history at the WSOP.

I looked at tomorrow's table assignment. Fortunately I don't recognize any names, and only one person there has over 100k. So maybe I can fight my way back. Still have 56 BB, so I got some room to maneuver, but not a whole lot.

I didn't Day 2 register like @WillieMcFML insisted, and boy was I sorry. Returning with less than starting stack, 45k, to day 2 of the WSOP Main Event in 20 minutes.

I don't usually bust on Day 1. Since 2010, in 12 Main Events, I've made Day 2 eleven times. Seven of those 11 saw me also make Day 3, including 3 of the past 4.

However, I'm 0-for-4 in that span when coming into Day 2 with a below average stack, as I am today.

The Main Event has had an older field for awhile now, typically averaging 40s. In 2019, I was the youngest at my Day 1 starting table, but oldest at mid Day 4 table. I was busted (128th) by one of the very few left older than me -- eventual champ Hossein Ensan!

This is the first time I've ever been the oldest at my Day 2 starting table. I didn't ask anyone's age, but nobody looks like they're 50. Lots of Euros at this table, too. I believe we will break in not too long. #pfa70

Bet 3k, late pos called, BB folds.

Turn 9. Check/check.

River 3. Check, he bets 11k into 12k pot. I tank, decide decent chance he has AQ. Call. He had AQ. Up to 57k.

I open raise button with A5o to 2200, SB shoves with 10.5k. I call.

He turns over.... A5o.

Rainbow flop assured a chop. I sit with 57k. We're playing 500/1000 now.
