Didn't recognize him with the facial hair, but 2010 Main champ Jonathan Duhamel is to my direct right. #pfa73

They just shot B roll footage of me playing a hand versus Duhamel. Of course I lost. Probably won't make TV. I have 161k #pfa73

Duhamel busted on 4th-to-last hand of the night, JJ < AK. I wasn't involved. #pfa73

I finished with 165100. I return for my first Main Event Day 3 since 2013, on Thurs at 11am. Should be above average chips. #pfa73
No reason to go out like that. WoW!!! You still around 100BB?
Nice!! VN!!!
good job
GO GO GO
HILLARY WON
I expected Sura to be awful, but he wasn't. He was just tight.
I even tried to limp from the SB to his BB, figuring that tight recs will usually be happy to check it with most hands. Nope! He raised it, and I folded, joking to the table that I was a big fish for doing that, and saying, "I learned my lesson. I'm never doing that again."
I also raised me off hands pre-flop twice. I believe he probably had something both times, though I did lay down TT to a big 3-bet he made from the SB over me and one other guy.
Jeremy Ausmus, who made the 2012 Main final table, and Jonathan Duhamel, who won the event in 2010, were both at my last table (the one I was at for about the final 4.5 hours). Duhamel busted at the end, and Ausmus finished with a shortish stack. I had direct position on both of them.
Allen Kessler approached the table at one point and talked to me, commenting that the three of us sitting in a row was "murderer's row", but made sure to point out, "You're the third best of the murderers."
I played zero big pots. Unlike Day 1, where I was hitting tons of hands but failing to get action, Day 2 was the opposite. I got AK tons of times and missed nearly every time. Fortunately, I bet people off in most of those spots.
I did get lucky on a weird hand in the early-middle stages of the day. I had gone through a brutal run of trash hands (spanning 2 tables) where I saw zero flops in 90 minutes of play. I think I took down one pot by stealing blinds, but that was it. Anyway, a guy raised the button in what looked like a steal, I 3-bet from the SB with K9hh, and the BB called. Then the button called. Uh-oh!
Turned out the button had QQ and the BB had AK, but both were afraid to re-pop it!
The flop was K64 rainbow, with one heart. I thought, "This might get me into trouble." I bet the flop, and the AK in the BB just called, and the button folded his QQ.
Turn was another 6, bringing a second heart (backdoor flush draw for me).
I figured this was a way ahead/way behind situation, so I checked. He also checked (!!).
River was 9. I fired out, he called, showed me AK, and grumbled.
I wasn't folding the turn if he bet, obviously, but not sure why he didn't fire there. What was he afraid of? Or was he trying to induce a bluff on the river?
Also pretty surprised neither 4-bet pre, since it was a button/SB/BB hand, and all those ranges are kinda wide.
Anyway, I finished the day with 165100. Approximately half the returning field (average 66k) busted, so we're looking at an average of the low-mid 130s for Day 3.
Regarding the prizepool:
First place gets $8,150,000
If I were to repeat my 2010 performance and bust 88th, I would get $72,514, down from the almost $80k I got in 2010 for nearly the same field. This is due to the difference in percentage cashing (15% in 2017, 10% in 2010).
1084th is the first spot which pays, and will be exactly $15,000.
A staggering 77.43% of the field made Day 2 from Day 1C. That will play out tomorrow. Anyway, 3300 people from that flight remain. If half of those fall off, that will leave 1650 from that flight, 1100 from A/B, meaning it's unlikely the money will be reached on Day 3.
Thanks to all who are railing and offering support.
Here is my history of my Day 3s at the WSOP Main:
2010: Came into Day 3 below average, busted mid-late Day 6 in 88th place, cashing almost $80k.
2011: Came into Day 3 below average, busted late day 3, about 200 spots from the money (would've cashed by 2017 standards).
2012: Came into Day 3 about exactly average. Busted mid-Day 3.
2013: Came into Day 3 slightly above average. Busted late Day 3, about 180 spots from the money (would've cashed by 2017 standards).
2017: Came into Day 3 moderately above average. ???
Grats Druff! Keep it going and bring it home.
1023 of 2219 survived Day 2AB.
Overall, 1023 out of 2959 Flights A/B entrants survived.
That puts the average stack at 144600.
I have 165100, so I'm a little above.
However, I am tied for 345th out of the 1023. That's a bit misleading, because many players are clumped together around where I am.
