Of final 3 hands, lost first, won second, folded third. Finished with 38200, above average but not great. Return at 2 tomorrow. #pfa37

High chip count today 48800, low was 13900. 2nd table tougher with 3 good players to my direct left. #pfa37
Got KK about 6 times today with mixed results. Got AA twice, won a moderate pot with one, got no action on the other. JJ and QQ batted .000 for me today. Twice I ran into a higher overpair (JJ/QQ and QQ/KK).
Took a few beats at the beginning, but didn't really take many bad beats after that. I lost chips to coolers and missing draws rather than taking beats.
It is not clear if there's 99, 103, or some other number of players left (out of 170), but it doesn't really matter. Average is around 25-26k, and I am above (but not way above) average. I finished with 38,200, a little more than 10k down from my high.
Overall, it was a decent day, but nothing memorable.
The last event's Day 1 played ($1500 Limit Holdem) was memorable, despite ending in disappointing fashion.
Hope I get a good table draw tomorrow. When all was said and done, my first table ended up being a good draw (especially after I got a feel for it), and the table where I was moved was a lot tougher. The hard part about the second table was my position. I had an aggro guy to my left (some Magic the Gathering player), Greg Debora to his left, and some aggro high stakes kid to his left. And then Joseph Cheong to his left!
It should be noted, however, that Cheong is definitely not a Limit Holdem player, and it showed. He can be frustrating to play against, but overall he was in way too many hands and chasing way too much.
Today's limits moved up very slowly. In eight hours of play, we moved from 200-400 to 500-1000.
Tomorrow won't be like that. We will start at 600-1200, then go to 800-1600 after an hour, and then onto 1000-2000! This means that the limits will be doubled within 3 rounds. Obviously if I get the short end of the stick on the hands I play, I won't last long. Nobody will under those circumstances -- not even current chip leader Greg Mueller.
Hoping for some good cards tomorrow!
Here are the various reports for Event 37:

Day 2 table draws: http://www.wsop.com/pdfs/reports/128...s-by-Table.pdf
I'm currently 16th in chips out of 103 left.
My table draw is:
1 Matt Lefkowitz CARMEL VALLEY, CA, US 25,900 Amazon / 347 / 1
2 Todd Witteles LAS VEGAS, NV, US 38,200 Amazon / 347 / 2
3 Dom Denotaristefani MENDHAM, NJ, US 34,900 Amazon / 347 / 3
4 Tam Hang NEWCASTLE, WA, US 42,000 Amazon / 347 / 4
5 Justin Smith LOS ANGELES, CA, US 12,000 Amazon / 347 / 5
6 Mark Gregorich LAS VEGAS, NV, US 12,900 Amazon / 347 / 6
7 Marwan Abdelal LOS ANGELES, CA, US 34,100 Amazon / 347 / 7
8 Michel Halioua THORNHILL, ON, CA 9,600 Amazon / 347 / 8
9 Mohsin Charania CHICAGO, IL, US 21,700 Amazon / 347 / 9
I don't know seats 1, 3, 7, 8, and 9.
Tam Hang is a very tough high-limit Commerce player. Sadly, he has position on me, though he will not have position on me when I am on the button and cutoff.
Justin Smith is Boosted J. I am not sure how good he is at Limit Holdem, but he only has 12,000 chips at the moment.
Mark Gregorich is a very solid player and universally liked in the poker community. He only has 12,900 in chips, though.
This table will probably either be first or last to break. I'm not sure which one.
Greg Mueller (chip leader), Brock Parker, and Jeff Shulman, all of whom have enjoyed a lot of success in Limit Holdem events, all have more chips than me.
Solid stuff. 40 Percent of the field gone already. Looks like it should be down to 2 tables by the end of the night, or even one if the cards decide to makeitso.

This table breaks 4th, which should take a little while but won't last nearly all day #pfa37

These tables have super quick (24 second) auto shufflers which make a tilting sound. #pfa37

As is common at the beginning of the day, play has been very tight so far. #pfa37

Guy to my right claims he fell asleep in his car 4 times at traffic lights last night, showed up 15 min late here. #pfa37

The guy to my right reminds me a lot of "The Dude" from the Big Lebowski, in both looks and demeanor. #pfa37
