Day 2 of WSOP Event 16

I didn't last long in day 2 of event #11. I min-cashed in the tournament for about 2800 not long after I made a loose call on the bubble with ace ten and lost to ace queen which in retrospect was a bad call. It was a middle-aged man who probably just wanted to make the money. Live and learn.

However! The very next event I played is the 1.5k 6-max event and I made day 2 again! I lost half my chips in the first level after making a laydown to HighlandFox which he later told was correct. I tripled up with Aces not long after and it was smooth sailing all the way. I played spectacular and was controlling my table all the way. I have below average chips but I earned them all playing no all-in pots after the first 3 hours. Really proud of how I picked my spots all day. 148 left and we're already in the money but I'm only thinking about first place.

Another shot at a bracelet let's make this happen.

Quick update, Day 2 of WSOP Event #11

I'm going into day 2 of today's 1500 no limit WSOP event. I've got 34,000 going into blinds of 600/1200 and we are 27 from the money.

Over 600k for first and most importantly the bracelet. I feel really good now (about 2 hours before restart) and expect to make day 3. If I don't, there is always Sunday tournaments online. I'm gonna play my heart out.

Good luck me. No matter what happens, life is good.
