Day 6 - Monday 8th July

I actually managed to sleep continuously for a whole five hours last night! That is a real result given my history with sleep and Vegas. Feel fine. Plan today is to take it easy and, again, not to play poker, although having said that I am meeting up with some friends tonight at the MGM to eat at Robuchon, so I might go up there for about 3pm and play a few hours of cash. Before that I might venture out to the pool again after the unexpectedly successful foray the other day. I"ll get some reading done too.

Just checked the official chip counts on the WSOP website. Apparently I am on a table with Annette Oberstad tomorrow. She is the big stack in seat nine, and I"m in seat three, so she"ll be stealing my blinds every other round. It will be interesting to see her in action.

P.S. thanks for all your words of encouragement!

By the way, I forgot to tell you yesterday about this mad hand between the loose player to my immediate right and this old bloke to my immediate left. I"m in the SB with rubbish, loose bloke raises to something like 800 (I think we were at 150/300) and the old bloke goes all in for 16k! Although this is a depleted stack, it"s still over half the starting stack and, more importantly, he has over 50 big blinds. Anyway, the loose bloke starts thinking, and eventually decides to call with AQ! To be fair, he was on about 50k already given all the luck he had had, but still! The old bloke had AK, and there was a queen on the turn. Both of them had a shocker! Also, check out Neil Channing"s tweets from yesterday. Very amusing. He was on a table with some mad bloke who was making plays like this all the time. That"s probably why he struggled to get going stack-wise.

Well done for surviving day 1 and good luck for day 2.

I"m really impressed how you are preserving a good stack and not spewing too much on draws. You are still in great shape and playing deep. There are enough players who will donate a stack in day 2

Will you put the latest chip count at the end of the post rather than the beginning then we get to read the details before finding out what you ended the level on? Adds to the excitement  ;D

Keep it up. BTW Obrestad thinks that anyone who donk bets is generally weak. I"ve heard her say it more than once. Donk into her with your value hands. GL.
