Big Stack on Day 2 of WSOPE Main Event!
Published by: Jason Mercier
Posted In: Jason Mercier Poker Blog, Tournament Trail
Saturday was day 1a of the WSOPE main event in London. I decided to play Saturday, so I could have a day off in between day 1 and day 2, because it would probably end up being my last day off for this trip. My table draws weren't as tough as I thought they were going to be. I only had to play at an extremely tough table for about one hour, when Ashton Griffin and Jens Kyllönen got moved to my table which already had Larslusak and a few other tough opponents.
I got to play on the featured table for the last 2 levels of the day which was a lot of fun. This will be my first time getting on ESPN for some US TV coverage. Yay!
I played and ran really well all day, making only one mistake that I can remember, which actually probably isn't a mistake in the long run, just a misunderstanding of the player's range at the time.
I finished the day second in chips and day 1bs chipleader came up 30k short of my stack. I am entering day 2 on Monday with around 190k and high hopes. Good luck me! PS go Zadester
