Out of the $2,500 stud-hi in the last level of the day.

As I exited, an old American guy said "the kid had buried aces five times all day, and lost all five." And he wasn't wrong.

Exit hand was getting in (AA)54 vs Seiver's (88)34 on 4th, and bricking against his two pair, and had trouble making a winning hand all day.

The biggest hand was against an unknown, I 3bet (AA)6 against his (xx)k 2 bet on 3rd, where the board had both an ace and king dead.

I bet every street til sixth, where I showed (AA)672A, making trip aces on 6th, and he showed (xx)k9xJ. He re-raised 6th, I 3bet, he called. I didn't improve the river, and decided to check raise, which is debatable. He quickly called, so assumed I was 98% turning over the winning hand, and was surprised to be shown (JJ)k9xJ(9) for a full house.

Felt there was little I could do today, hoping for some run good soon.

$5k Omaha-eight-or-better at 5pm tomorrow, should be a good one.

Through to day 2 with just 3,600.

Couldn't make a hand on the river or fade a hand on the river all day. A shame, as I feel there isn't much I could have done so far. Still hope tomorrow, hope to be updating good news

Day two of the $5k Omaha-eight-or better:

Out first hand sadly. I am on the CO with Ak86, big blind not present, I raise to 1,200, the button who has the exact same stack as me 3bets to 1,800. I always hate hands where an absent big blind changes things (Phil Ivey then took his seat half way through the hand!), but it turned out we would be getting it in nevertheless.

I called, the flop was K53 rainbow, which is strong for me, we 3-bet it all in, and he showed AJ43 rainbow. So, we were roughly flipping before the flop, and roughly flipping on it.

The turn peeled off a 2 straight away, to give him the nuts both ways, and that was that.

Next event: $5k HORSE, Saturday 5pm

Out of the HORSE in about 56th place (34 paid). Feels a tough one, had run up to 68k at one point today, and things were feeling good.

Sorry for the lack of update yesterday, fell straight to sleep when I got back. I took 24,600 through to day two (15k starting), and then got off to a real flier today, I ran really good on a table including Negreanu, Seidel, Juanda, Flack and ran up to 68k. The eventual exit was tough, as from 23k, I actually got anted (and bring-in) to death, made possible by the strange parlay of a table breaking at the end of a stud round, and getting moved to a new one in the razz round, and so having nearly six rounds of 500 antes in the stud games. Strange way to go, as I literally didn't have a decision to make for the final 23k. The crucial pot before that was a stud pot, where a ten completed, I 3-bet (A2)A, and bet 4th and 5th as the boards ran (A2)A4A and (xx)T88. He caught (xx)T88T on 6th, which was horrible to see, but I had to call 6th obviously with outs to fill, and just about had to sigh call 7th with trip aces. He showed the likely tens full of eights for a 48k pot.

Next event: $1,500 pot limit 0-8 on Monday

Really quick one, as it's been thick and fast.

Finished 52nd in the $1500 PL08 for just over $4k, will confirm exact figure.

Day two of razz now with 21,500 (7.5k start), going well.

ooooooh, really hoping the chip stacks are right for once and we have a sweat.  Feels a bit dirty celebrating success in Razz, much like celebrating the success of one of those promotion price horses at Ascot.

Don't knock Razz. There's an old chess saying that finding the worst hand on the board is just as impressive as finding the best.

Well done, Stu.

Looks like we have cashed.  Woohoo
