Had a strong first day of the main ended up bagging 89100 which was a 31000 chip increase.

My table was a mix of skill but only 1 really strong guy 2 seats to my left. Never really got in a bad spot. But I also didn't inflate the pot pre oop. No one was super agro postflop either which helped.

Hyper agro Spanish guy 3 to my left that looked like he'd be a pain but fortunately he spewed down to half stack and couldn't get that agro.


Biggest hand in my favor I got max value with JTdd on KhQh3x9x8x against the weakest player in the game. He c/cd flop and turn and lead river. I made it big ad he sigh called top 2. Anyways this weaker player bagged 100k+ lol donkaments

Another big hand. Super agro guy who has 3 and 4b a bunch already 3bs sb to my co. I have AJo. I can certainly flat or 4b and I decide with offsuit I'm gonna take a shot at winning pre. So I 4b 1800 to 5k with 60k behind. He he calls oop (doh). Flop JT4r. I cbet 5k he calls. Turn Tx things not looking good. Check check. Intending to fold to a reasonable river bet. River 7x. He bets 5k I'm thrilled I snap. He tables ako

Day 2 on the 13th tbc

Keep it going.

LFG. Enjoy the day off I feel a deep run coming

At the rio and about to sit for day 2 of the main event. What a dream. Nervous and excited hoping to run hot

Run like Fedor and retire

Rough first level. Get in 18bb utg1 to utg shorty kk < aa. My 2nd 3b of a utg shorty this level.

Tough spot open a7ss mp sb bracelet winner calls. Flop a34dd x/x. Turn 6x he pots I'm worried but call. River jx. He goes 1.5x pot. I tank and fold. This was very very close in my mind. In cash I snap. If he's big blind I snap. But I think,he's more pair and aq heavy here with only a few suited bways

Starting next level with 85bb

Sb had it everytime. He's just a fish on a heater.

You played hand perfect.

You got this.

He doesnt have aq for 1.5x pot. Live, they just generally have it there unless they are very good or very spewy.

A7ss I think is very,very close. See a lot of good live pros bomb it when they don't expect people to balance their checkback range.

Think both are fine. Hoping for some run good!

Level 7 started rocky

Opened 88 hj fun player in Co calls. Flop jt7ss. I x/call. Turn kx. He beats 1/5 pot. I decide to take a small shot and checkraise medium. He calls. River Ax. I give up. He shows k9o.


Then got better

Call aqo in Co to shorty hj open (aa>kk guy). Flop a78ss. Bet/call. Turn ax. Shove call. I hold to ajo.


70bb going to next level


Sickest hand of level.

Pro opens utg. Fun player 3bs mp small. Weaker but not total fish Asian young guy cold calls mp. Pfr calls.

Flop q98hhh. Pfr checks fish bets half pot. Asian kid calls pfr folds. Turn 2x. Fish checks. Asian kid bets 20k into 34k. Fish check shoves for 12k more. Asian kid agonizes but calls fairly quickly. River Ax. Asian kid tables AA no heart. Fish tables jjh

Had a very uneventful level 8. Very very card dead the whole thing. Had 0 tt+/aq+.

Got one sqz thru with air v utg pro.

Most interesting pot I 3b fairly similar stack guy btn to hj QTo he calls. Flop AA7 x/x. Turn 4x x/x. River A. He x I overbet 15k into 11km he snap folds.


Got moved to a table with David Williams on my left he's crushing has 200k+. Also have a very fun player to my direct right 200k deep so I'm hoping to get dealt some hands these next 2 levels

Have 55k going to 600/1200/200 which isn't great but still plenty of chips. Need to run hot asap

Showers.

First spot of level 9 open AJo utg. Williams call next to me. SB shorty calls. Flop aq8ss I cbet only Williams calls. Turn 6x I check call indending to call all non spade rivers. River 3s he bets 2/3 my remaining chips I fold.

2 hands later utg shorty jams. I get in AKhh flop 955 turn t river q.

Down to 19 blinds

2 hands later shove 77 mp. Big blind snaps qq. Flop 953 turn 6 river q. Showers

Today really sucked. I had 0 good spots to value bet or raise all day. Got aa 0 times. KK once into AA and no other top 5% hands.

Lol donkaments

I had a ton of "fun" playing. Running amazing in this event must be something special. Played with plenty of fun players and it's definitely not the toughest field. Sucks to bust fmso far from the mullah but what can ya do. I played near perfrctly today minus the 0 meh bluff

GG Arb, did you get a stake for the ME or bought in for the $10k yourself?

Enjoyed following this thread. You're a beast Arb. GL with everything in the future.

Enjoyed your thread. I wish you much success in business school. I know that you will do well.

I sold a tiny bit to friends and fam at 0 MU. Took most of it myself. Wanted a high variance shot at life changing $

TYTY

Thanks
