Through to Day 3 of the ‘Main Event’
OK. I am going to make this brief as I have only just got in and it is just past 6am and I need to rest before my next marathon.
Today, I was in the main event and became the chip leader within 1 hour of sitting down. I took our two people and my chip stack reached $72,000!
Then my ‘dry patch’ appeared and I watched crazy things happen with the usual Internet nutters. One guy, after a flop of Ace, King, 9 went all in with pocket 7s. He was caught with his pants down and was nearly eliminated.
I waited and waited but had no cards to attack him. Then, when I did he woke up with a real hand. I lost $15,000 in one go when he had pocket Aces.
Anyway, the good news is that I am through to day 2 and will resume my campaign on Friday. My current chip count is exactly $40,000 which is about 3,000 below average. Nothing to worry about as I have managed from far worse positions in the past.
