Day 1c

I survived day 1 with 29k, just 1,000 below my starting stack. I had a dream first level and got up to $48k. I then didn't win a pot over 1k for the rest of the day. After dinner I was moved to a pretty bad table and couldn't get anything going. I ended up playing like a complete rock for the final level and hoping for a bettter table draw on day 2.

I'm playing day 2b tomorrow and we start with blinds at 250/500//50, so I've still got 60 big blinds which is plenty. The average stack must be somewhere around 44k. I'm not sure what to make of my table draw. There are no really big names but there are a couple of good young UK pros and a smattering of randoms each with a few cashes recorded on the Hendon Mob website. I'll just have to take it as it come and try and chip up. My starting table tomorrow should break fairly early on in the day.

We're only playing four levels tomorrow, so fingers crossed for a spot in day 3, which means we'll be staying here till the 15th July regardless of if I bust.

In other news, may our luck may have changed as Citibank have finally been made to get their act together and have given us some money and yesterday we found a $1,000 casino chip in the back of a taxi!
