Good news - 214 starters and 81 through to day 2,  including me.

Bad news - currently sitting in 78th position, short stacked with 8k at 500/1,000

Good news - it could have been worse!  

I lost a good pot in the penultimate hand, leaving me just 1,800 for the last hand (400/800). I went all in blind UTG and got 3 callers. The board ran out 97632 and my neighbour said "low cards should be good for you as the callers may have high cards." It was checked all the way to the river. One player declared a 6. I turned my cards over and found a 4 and a 5 for a straight, and survival!

Enjoyable event with tough opposition. Starting table had Jeff Kimber, Dan Furnival (winner of the £500), Karl Mahrenholz and a good young German online player. When Jeff bust out we got Sunny Chatta and when Karl bust we got Priyan de Mel. To top it off, Toby Lewis moved 2 to my left later on.

Overall - pleased to be in still, but in urgent need of a double up.

Got an early double up and took the blinds a few times, moving from 8k to 27k at one point.

Drifted to 22k at 600/1200 and decided to reshove against a serial raiser with AQss. This time he had KK and I was out in 61st.

Thanks to everybody who supported me - I gave it my best shot.
