Excellent Day One


Things went very well today in day one of the WPT Festa al Lago at Bellagio. The field is very tough with pretty much every great player in the world playing and few soft spots but I was able to exploit a couple weak players and more importantly make a bunch of good hands including 99 vs Martin DeKnijff's Q4 on a Q94 flop to really get me going. I finished the day with 86,275 which is close to double the average so I'm feeling great about things going into day two, despite the tough field.

The Fish lost most of his stack with two pair versus a straight, then came back from 1500 to 16k, then lost an all-in with AQ vs Erick Lindgren's queens. Alex missed like three hours of the tournament and somehow has 60k.

I have so much to write about these poker tournaments and the future and SURVIVOR and life but right now I just want to relax and play well and win a million dollars in this tournament.
