It was a grueling day at what even PokerNews called the “Table of Death.” Except for the guy on my right, I probably had the worst seat at the table, too, with Luca Pagano on my immediate left and Isaac Baron to his left. There were a few other decent to good tourney players, too, and the soft spots were mostly just too tight, not spewing off chips. I didn’t feel like I played very well in the first few hours, but I got a second chance when I picked up AA on a very short stack and tripled up. I feel like I adapted pretty well to a tough situation after that and managed to keep growing two steps forward, one step back for the rest of the day. Mostly I am very glad it’s over and I have a few days to recover. We play again on Friday and then every day thereafter.

nice run yesterday. sounded like an interesting table. GL on Day 3!
You sextupled up at the Table of Death — they should make t-shirts to commemorate the occasion!
Good luck on Friday. It’s been great fun following your live updates here and on twitter.
I wonder if 4 cashes in a row will be a modern era record.
Andrew wrote about this last year. There are 2 active players who have cashed three years running — Andrew and Stefan Mattsson, who does not appear to be in this year’s event.
So when Andrew cashes, he’ll tie the all-time record (4 consecutive cashes) as well as become the active leader. 🙂

Survived the table of death, way to go Brokos! I’m loving this twitter thing.

Kyrus says “Waaaaaa!”. That translates to good luck in baby talk.

I’m glad you have time to surf poker blogs while Suk nurses your son. When are we going to see a picture?
