We're waiting for some Voice Updates, but we have heard from Podiman via text messaging and he's hanging in there. Here's a link to his chip count movement per Poker News:

Chip Count Progress

He had a rocky day, going down quite a bit when he got it all in against a shorter stack with a great draw and missed, but later in the evening he made it all back and then some when he flopped a big draw with QTs, got it all in again for his tournament life and hit the straight flush. He's current in very good shape with 142,500.

Speaking to a group of players and they were talking about my table. Said that there is a good shot they choose it for the TV table.
Once the tables are drawn, ESPN goes through them and decides which one would be the best. I went through the entire 2b list and have to agree, our table, with 2 pros and 4 big stacks would certainly fit.
They also said that you get $10K for wearing a FT or PS logo.. that would rock either way! So.. just have to wait and find out.
Off to bed...

So I just sat down at 2/5 maybe 15min ago. I buy $1000 in chips, and look around. Decent stacks, so I put another $1k in cash behind.

5th hand in, I squeeze KK in MP. Raise in front of me to $30. Player next to me had told me he is very aggressive. So I pop it to $100. Tiny asian girl thinks and thinks, almost mucks, and calls. Raiser just calls.
Flop comes K66... Sweeeet!!

Tiny asian girl bets $125, kid calls, Are you serious?? I call.

Turn is 7.
Tiny asian goes all in for about $450, kid calls!! What?? So I look at his stack and he's got about $700 left. Pot is huge and pretty sure he's committed. AK? AA?, So I go all in. He gives a pained look, thinks for about 20seconds and calls. I show my KK. And thankfully no one has 66.

River is a 3.
She shows 33
He shows AA.

15min in and scooped $4100 pot.

While I was just typing this on my BBerry, called a raise on the button with KJ. Pot is $100.
Flop is QT4, raiser bets 30, I call as does tiny asian girl.
A on turn, he bets 50, I make it 150, she shoves for 240, he folds and I call. I show and she mucks.

Now have $4600...and I've been here less than 25min.

I hope I run this good on wednesday!!

Any suggestions on how to play this table?? Antonio to my left, ugh...

I heard some people talking that you could find out whos at your table for day 2, does anyone know where to get this info?

I am currently 64th overall with 1819 left and will have my day 1 write up soon, but curious to see who is at my table for Wednesday. If you know, please share!

Good luck to all that are still in!
