Token in play

I'm using up my $26 token on the $13,500 guarantee that's starting in a couple minutes. Wish me luck!

I'm single tabling this bitch. I want to have 100% focus on the game so I can hopefully turn some of this satellite work I did over the weekend into a MTT score and get some real cash. I might do some semi-live blogging during the downtimes.

797 runners, 1st gets just under $5K.

Once again, table full of tards:

I almost donked it all off on a bluff. But I was able to recover from critical levels to back around an average chipstack.

*****

Around T2500 at the break, average is around T3000. I can't get any cards. There are still 375 people left and top 81 get paid.

*****

Honestly, the only hand I've had all tournament was pocket 10's. I got 191 callers on that one and saw an all paint flop. About 1/2 average stack now.

Out in 241st palce. My top and bottom 2 pair ran into top 2 pair. Oh well, at least I won't miss House tonight.
