Very last H4h, I complete the min open with Q6s off about 14bb, Flop A hi giving me fd and I check shove to get a fold. Coming back tmrw to about 19bb close to itm.

In the bb you complete?
Seems kind of spewy if on direct bubble and he covers you.
Gl today.

Vs a min open from lp with a suited high card, def not spewy. Also wasn't direct bubble, just end of day 1 (assumed somewhat close to bubble but wasn't an overwhelming factor). Do you flat 78s here? I think a lot of players would but Q6s is arguably a much better flatting hand in this situation at this stack depth (flop top pair a fair bit and plenty of good flops hero can check jam with more than enough fold equity vs a likely 100% cbet). I'm confident this flat preflop is not a spewy play, always happy to hear counter arguments tho.

So you still didn't answer/clarify, were you in the bb?
Oh I took H4H to mean stone bubble. That obv makes a difference.
Yes I would def defend 78s there.
Though originally I meant more that the flop play was kind of spewy if it was on the direct bubble. But seems ok now.

Running quite poorly early in this extended levels, lots of time and have just over 30bb so anything can happen but if I bust before end of this level 2, I'll jet over to Wynn and fire the 400 50k in place of the ph quantum bullet that was skipped.

Coming back from 2nd break what we started last level with (3.4k), playing few hands and losing more than I win. Frustrating day so far but I play the 20-25bb stack better than anybody

8bb after having to hero fold TJs on 59ThhhTxAx board. Super frustrating day.

I open TJdd with super tight image, mp straight forward mawg calls, sb calls, bb folds. Flop 59Thhh, checks thru. Turn Tx, sb leads a little over 1/3 pot, I call with about pot behind, mp calls. River Ax, sb checks, I bet half my stack and a little under 1/3 pot, mp insta raises small but enough to put me in... I'm always going to see A hi flush or better here. I save the 8bb and quickly lose AK<66. Taking rest of day off.

Betting my TJ is probably too thin on that river. I should probably just check anything I'm not jamming there. Can fathom a range that likes a small bet there but really I was just looking for a light hero with any Ax or worse flush if I hold nut flush, but don't think it's gonna be great. I'm never getting bluffed there tho so the fold is fine, I might have to hero vs a bet on river which I guess was what I initially wanted to avoid but frankly it does leave v wide open to bluff some (I don't expect many bluffs tho, felt he had more Ax than anything) . Vs straightforward /sticky players my bet can be okay but I rather like the alternative.

Best of luck in the tourney!

How many runners do you reckon will be in for it?

It's an off day with only 10k wsop and day 3 of 5k so some of the best won't be making this field. Ph has a smaller multi day series but I could see Wynn doubling the 100k gtd today. I plan to reg early to avoid any lines.

Over 170 mid first level so it should crush the 100k easy.

50k second break. Peaked around 75k but lost a huge pot with KxJc on 9TKcccKsAs board vs KT. Should have actually made a hero fold on river vs the 60% pot bet. Wildish Asian guy so he might have enough QcXx from the bb complete (shrug).
