We started with 30K, I was up around 50K at my peak, had 30K with two hands left to go in the day. Got into a three-way all in holding 66 on a 5h6c8c vs. 74 and AcJc. The straight held, but I won a small sidepot against the flush draw. Then next hand I doubled through him again to finish day with 16K. Blinds start at 500/1000/200 tomorrow.

Only other hand of note was versus another young guy early in the day, at my first table. Blinds 75/150, I  limped KK UTG (had limped a couple times before as well). Kid  raised to 400, got two calls, I made it 2400 with like 24K behind, only kid called. Flop was 775, I bet 2700, he called. Turn 8, I bet 7200 with 10K behind, he called. River 6, I checked planning to fold to a shove but expecting him to check it back pretty much always.
