Yes, I'm playing the Main Event on Day1B. No, I won't sell you a piece. Yes, I am going to start off well and feel really optimistic. Yes, I'll lose some back by the end of Day 1. No, I'm not going to brick out again 1-2 hours before the money this year. I think. #pfa65

Main Event starts for me in 30 mins. 50k starting stack. Updates will come often, even though I have 100% of myself. #pfa65

Third hand of the tournament, dealt black AA. BB calls. Flop K83 two spades. I bet/he calls. Turn Js. Bet/call. River Ts. Tons of raises, he shows Qs9s for straight flush & I'm out. Just kidding. He had red J8, river saved me. Up to 55800. #pfa65

Lots of hands in first 30 min: AA, AJ (BB), KJ (cutoff), 77. Was first to open them all, won the AA & AJ. Still 55k. Table draw seems pretty good though I have a German pro to my direct left. #pfa65

KK on button. Early pos (a rec) makes it 350, Brazilian guy (BR) calls, I raise to 1k. Flop QJ2 rainbow. I bet 1600, both call. Turn J, checked around. River 4. Early bets 1600, BR makes it 7k, I fold, early calls. BR has 44. I win if bet turn? I have 52.5k. #pfa65

I think it's very likely the loser of last hand had AQ. Looked like he wanted to bet flop but then checked. He's frustrated about river but was probably losing anyway. So hard to bet that turn though, especially in this slow tournament. #pfa65

Now dealt QQ, meaning I've had AA, KK, QQ in first hour. Table thinks I'm super aggro. Unfortunately an ace flopped & I lost to AQ. So 2/3 of those hands lost, and AA almost lost. Early winnings gone, now have 48900. #pfa65

There's a weird break after 4 hours of play for 60 minutes. Then another weird 60 min break after 3.5 hours of play. Thankfully I'm staying here or it would be really annoying. #pfa65

AsQs in SB. Flop Ts-high, turn Js, river brick and I lose. Next hand AA again, flop KJ4, turn 2, rec player check raised me, I folded. He showed JJ. Pretty horrible luck since that first AA hand. Down to 41775. #pfa65

The guy who beat me JJ against AA is the one I beat with AA earlier. In both hands, he had me on the turn, and in both hands the J was the pivotal card. #pfa65

Now AdQd dealt. Been a long time since so many premium hands dealt to me live in the span of 75 minutes. Won this one after all folded on A655 board, but not a big pot. 100% chance table thinks I'm a maniac. I have 43825. #pfa65

Won small pot with As9s. Then 98o in BB, limped by rec, SB completed, I checked. Flop 223 checked around. Turn 8s. Bet 300, both call. River Qs also was 3rd spade. I checked, limper fired 2k into 1350 pot. Wtf? Folded, he showed 88. Geez. I have 44650. #pfa65

In case you're keeping score at home, I've run into 3 sets already, twice holding an overpair, once holding top pair. Fortunately two of the three were against rec players. #pfa65

Weird spot with 99 SB where early limped, I thought rec to his left limped, but turned out he raised (he threw out single chip & I didn't hear him), and then I raised but not enough to be a 3-bet so it was a call. Won hand on JT6Q2 board. 45.5k #pfa65

Almost at break, but first 2 hours have been crazy, as I've had AA twice, KK, QQ, 99, 77, and AQ suited twice. Thanks to running into 3 sets, I still sit below starting stack, though not far below. Sad! #pfa65

I was mistaken. There's no weird break after 4 hours of play. That's only on Days 1A and 1C. Happy about that. A long break after 2 hours is stupid. #pfa65

A rec raised to 1100 early (blinds 150-300), caller ahead, I called with 66, 2 others called. Flop 934 two clubs. He bet only 1400, I called, another caller. Turn 6h. He bet 2k, I made it 7k, he called. River 3, he bet 2k, I went 10k, he called. Up to 68k. #pfa65

Late position TT. BB called raise. QT9QK board, he check/called whole way and showed Q. Knew he had either Q or J, hoped he didn't have KQ when river fell! Up to 76k #pfa65
