Well, I made it thru to day two! Though I am definitely NOT the chip leader! Haha! But with $19,600 I am not dead money yet! Eric Morris came in later in the night and sat to my right. He said it was certainly possible to remain in the game.
I thought I was out with just 7k and a couple of hours left. A bad beat left me down though I did reach about 40k at one point. In the beat I had pocket kings and only one other player in with me. I flopped trip kings, then bet a little. She raised and I called. The turn, a 5 and the river an Ace. She was keeping up with my bets the whole way. The Ace on the river ended up giving her the straight she was chasing! And down I went..
But when they announced there were only five hands left I started not only to get great cards, but went all in three times! Doubled twice (nut flush and trips) and now I still feel in the game!
Saturday table 171, seat 3!

When I arrived to the WSOP, the first person I saw was Phil Ivey. I couldn't help myself in yelling out to him "I can die now!". He passed, then spun around abruptly and said something but I didn't hear it so I just laughed! I think he said something like "These are just my sisters..?". Ok wishful thinking maybe.. Back at the Wynn I caught a game of craps with Farha! But I lost.. We all lost..
Then at the Rio yesterday (Wednesday) I saw Shaq, Phil Helmuth and Shannon Elizabeth playing. You can always guess where Helmuth is. Look for the biggest crowd, find Helmuth. Look for the biggest guy, find Shaq.
Now, half an hour before day 1D, my first day, everyone is walking around with excitement and nervousness on their faces. Including me! This morning I did my final readings of Harrington on Holdem and Super Systems and I feel ready to go! Table 55, seat 3, here I come! Wish me luck!
