All done

With 10 minutesleft in day 1 I busted out. With blinds at 200- 400 w/ 50 antes mp made it 2000 to go. I sensed he didn't want a call. I am in the bb and have ~ 24k. Mp has ~30k. I look down at KK. I reraise to 6300. He thinks for a min and shoves. I think he does not have rockets because I have already seen him call a 3bet with rockets. I really don't think he wants a call and has AK, JJ or QQ. I call he asks me if I have rockets, no, and then KK, yes. He says shit and I turn over my KK and he tablesQQ. A Q hits in the window. I have outs on the river as the turn brings a third diamond but the is no fourth diamond to save me. The ESPN Cameras were in my face after we got it all in and before the flop. I said "nice hand" and shook everyones hand but feel like I just got kicked my a mule in the gut.
I had no real dinner and am now going to get a steak, a beer and some sleep.
Syndicate guys I feel like I let everyone down and apologize.
Best, Mike P

Ouch!!

Break before last level. Got hit hard on trip 10 vs boat. Had A10cc raised and called from button. Flop 10,10, 7. Turn 4, river 9. He had 77. Down to 21250. One half level to go for the night.

Dinner break much better level

Much more action this level. Table seemed to go nuts. 2 bustouts so 1 big stack~ 75k across from me. Big stack called a huge overbet check raise w KQ on a KQ5 board. Maniac had AA. Luckily that guy stays away from me.

I turned it on flop and turn on the three weaker players. I have only shown down 2 hands, AKfor top 2 for a smalish pot~ 2500 and 25off for a wheel for a 4500 pot. I raised with both from late position so now everyone is staying away.
I am at 36450.

Entries

Just over 7k entries. 1st place just under 9 million.

Level 2

Wow that sucked! Took down 3 pots preflop and that was it. Folded on all flops and made a move on one hand that worked.
