Well I made my WSOP debut in event 54. I was a little nervous before play started, but once I had played a few hands the nerves dissapeared and it just felt like another game. I didnt have many hands for the first 2 or so hours, in the 3rd level I sucked out on a hand for my tournament life with AQ vs KJ on a AK7J7 board. A few hands later i had another lucky hand, winning an all in with AQ vs KK when I rivered an Ace. All of a sudden I was up to 12k from my starting stack of 4.5k.

After the next break I went totally card dead, the hands I raised got 3bet, and my cbets failed and before I knew it I was down to about 5k with blinds 150/300. I picked up QQ and lost to AT, next hand shipped all in with 63s for my last few chips and busted out about 1100th out of 2800. It was a very gruelling 5 hours, and I think my lack of patience cost me a little. The standard of the field was decent, especially a few hours in. There were a few notables in the tournament, Phil hellmuth, Men Nguen, JC Tran, Antonio Esfandiari to name a few. Anyway I am glad to have played and now I can say I have officially been in the WSOP. I will probably enter the same event next year for a bit of fun too.
