Correction, there are 134 left. $113k for first. Sick prize pool for a $600 event. I hope I get a good redraw. I wonder where I stand in chips. Chip avg right now is 115k. I have the avg at 78 players. Will have to work on maintaining and slowly chipping up. Need 1.5M to have FT chips. I feel like the bubble will go fast as I imagine there must be a bunch of short stacks. I mean the blinds are going to be 2k-4k 500. I feel short stacked a bit. I can't imagine how guys with like 90k feel.

Just saw the table redraw sheet. Hard to read, but I'm 18th in chips out of 134 so not a bad spot.

Got a decent table draw. I'm the biggest stack with one guy who is pretty even with me two to my left unfortunately. Then two med stacks also to my left. The rest of the table is short having 11 to 21bb when we get to the next level which will be in 8min after we start. I will have about 50bb and an Mof 19 at the next level. Hopefully I can puck up some pots early to keep the pressure off me and on others.

On our first break. 102 left. I'll be in the sb at 2500-5k 500. I have 210k so I can't complain. Now it's focusing on getting to the final table with some chips. All the money is in top 4 or 5 spots as usual.

73 left. Got crippled in two big hands. Only got 16bb. Sng pushbot mode now.

Ended up busting 64th. Shoved ATo in MP and got called by sb who had JJ. So sucky. Gonna play some cash at Aria and see how the games are.

Tourneys are sick don't let it get u down, how much did u cash if any?

$1629 so basically nothing.

Going to play the $1600 at the V.

FYP

Seriously good luck in this challenge, and hope you set even a bigger challenge once you smash this.

Finished the first 2 lvls. Field is really good. Glad I played. At 24k. 342 entries so far and still have another hour for registration.

Blinds 100-200 I have 23500 villain has 14k. MP raises to 500 I call with 68s in , HJ. villain on button calls sb, a solid player thinks and makes it 1650, original pfr calls, I call, villain calls. My image is tight solid.

Flop: 9 5 3 all clubs, sb checks, check, I check, villain bets 2150, folds around to me I make it 6150 and he tanks for 3 min before folding. Up to 32k now.

That bluff paid off. This lady paid me off half her stack, then the other half last hand before the break. Up to 55k. Going into 150-300 25.

Just picked off a huge bluff during the last level. I might type the hand out later when I have more time. But i'm up to 97k blinds are 300-600 50 and then we go on dinner break. I have about 3 times the avg. Pretty sick. I hope it never and I just have a massive lead all the way to the end.

On dinner break. Got a hyper aggro guy that just say thankfully to my right with alot if chips. I thought I had alot. This guy say down with 140k and is now up to 180k. I'm down to 82k which is still twice the avg. His A9o> than my TT. I hate aggro fish on heaters. It's such a nightmare. But the good news is I got apossible light double up coming. Got 180 left.

That aggro guy slowed waaay down. He even gave me a walk!! Chipped back up a little to 92k. Got two more hours of play and we finish for the day. Hopefully i'm above 100k by the end of the night. 145 left.

Just ended the day. 88 left. Had 115k,, but got table changed and had a few bad hands. I ended the day with 92800. Tomorrow we start at 800-1600 200. I'm super focused and feel I will make a good run.

crazy

Just saw my redraw. There're actually 83 left. I'm 34th in chips. I'm 6th at my table. But everyone is close to each other except 2 short stacks and one big stack. The only name I know at my table is lee childs. Hope I run good. Really need a win or at least top 3 so I can get on the leader board. Luckily my M is 22 so I have a little time to wait and see what the short stacks do at my table.

People are so funny. This guy I was kind of friendly with let me crash in his room at the rio on his couch for a few nights. There were 3 other guys staying there as well and I had some differences with one of them soI left and now staying worth another friend. Now the guy contacts me after a week to ask me to lend him $3k. He says he'll pay me back $3500 on Friday. I say no thanks and now i'm the worst scumbag in the world lol. I mean dude's backed by Daniel N for the whole series and the ME. And he desparately needs money from me? I have a feeling he's going to lose his backing if Daniel ever finds out what he's been doing with his stake money. He's dropped so much in the pits and now is short on his tourney buy ins. He doesn't think I know this, but its so obvious. And he was gonna use the $10k he gets wired on Friday to pay me back.....maybe.

Wasn't meant to be I guess. 20 away from the money and I get two red aces utg at 1k-2k 300. I make it my standard 4k then this guy ships into me with AT spades. You know the rest gg. So gross. Anyways at the tail end of my trip. Don't really have anything to show for it which sucks, but at least I have the money I showed up here with. Gonna grind cash for next three days and hopefully make a decent score. Playing the ME on Sat. If I bust then I will play the Venetian 5k. Then that's it.

Sitting in a decent 5/10 at Venetian. Continuing to run like crap. Got 4flushes hit on me. One time when I flop second set. Then I flop a15outer vs an over pair and the board pairs twice. Ugly.

So sat in one of the best 5/10 games in awhile and just commence losing $3k. I just couldn't get it in good enough. Had 95s on 678 flop and had to chop it with A8 after all the money goes in on the flop. Pretty ridiculous day. Gonna get some rest and probably just grind an insane amount tomorrow. But sort of tempted to play the $2500, don't know, my roommate keeps telling me to play the $1k at rio, but it just seems so stupid.

Just played a short 1 1/2hr session in a soft, but somewhat nitty game. People were pretty terrible, but nitty terrible. I.e. Lady has KK in a hu pot on a K 6 8 4 2 rainbow board and checks back the river in position lol. I almost fell out of my chair. That was basically like Jennifer Tilly's ”I thought he had Kings” hand. Made $500 and picked up to myself back on the list because the must move game looks so good. I'm still pondering whether I should play the $2500. They got like 80 players so far. I wonder if it's worth it. Probably not.

I broke down, i'm going to play it.
