The last 2 hours saw me switch tables twice. Treading water with 5300 in chips. First new table was crazy, happy to have moved on. Second new table seems passive, which should be good. 50 tables to break before we move again, so I…

So, decided to play the 1500K event today. We started with 4500 in chips. In the first two hours, I was as high as 6700, as low as 2400. I laid down top pair on the turn, which felt like the right decision at…

Nothing momentous, about 300 places from the money. Everyone should be very proud of her!

After playing like a donkey for the better part of 2 hours, I doubled up and was back in the tournament. I got lucky on a squeeze play and ended up just below avg. To this point, I had not been dealt a pair…

Christy made it to dinner break with 10k. She ended up flopping a set with presto to double up. When she gets back from dinner, they’ll play until about 1 am. She feels like she’s a little more comfortable, playing more hands.

Cards should be in the air shortly. 1100 players registered now, but they allow late entries for 2 hours. For those following along with Christy, she’s in another part of the room, so updates from her will most likely come every 2 hours, on…

Ended up staying up late to watch all 6 OTs of the Syracuse v UConn game. Awesome. Earlier today, UNC got a big scare from VA Tech before eeking out a victory. Florida State did the same thing against Georgia Tech. In the night…
