Level 6 complete, so Late Reg closed.

40,100 @ 300-600.

Plasma suggests 114 remain from 183.

This is fastttttt.

Level 7 was a baddie.

In a 3 bet pot I had;

 

On this flop;

 

How beautiful is that?

Managed to get scooped and dust off 13,000.

Pfft.

Ended the level with 26,000, not far above average.

Marv.

Did nothing wrong though.

Got a chunk back midway through level 8 when I called a raise pre, and flopped a huge two way draw.

I hit gin on the turn to go nut nut, I smooth called his bet again.

I bet too big on the river and lost him though.

38,000

[tikay]

My 3rd table move in one level as players are departing left right and centre.

Made a sort of hero call against a guy who looked FOS and he had a total airball.

41,000 @ 400-800

[booder]

Excellent.Keep going.

[tikay]

Excellent.Keep going.

Meh.

What are you doing up at this time? Toilet break?

2nd break, 8 levels complete.

Over half the field have gone, 83 of 184 remain, and the average is 26,602.

Blinds now 500-1,000, we have 40,200.

[Marky147]

Come on!!!

Level 9 complete, slipped back a little, got 36,000.

Blinds now 600-1,200.

73 left.

The tables here at Venetian are huge, and I am in seat 7.

Can barely see the board.

I have to keep squinting, standing up and leaning over the table to see the board.

Feel like a bit of a tit, but I genuinely can't see the board properly.

Use it to your advantage. Shove with the nuts, then lean over and look at the board. Mutter that you didn't realise it was a certain suit/card.

Level 10 ended, the cards went very cold, don't think I played a hand.

Blinded down to 33,000 which is, amazingly, slightly below average.

800-1,600 now, so just 20 Bigs.

Will need to get a wriggle on very soon. Am definitely happy to play for stacks now, this thing is so fast.

About 62 left.

Outrageous.

Level 11 was another completely card dead level. Been looking for a spot to gamble, but not found anything even remotely playable.

Blinds now 1,000-2,000, and we have just 17 Bigs.

54 left.

Facing a bet, I have A-K-K-2.

Lovely jubbly, POT, and we get it all in pre.

He has A-2-3-4. Hmm.

The K-9-7 flop is just the job and we are the jolly to scoop, but running low cards mean I only get three quarters.

46,000
