| Unfortunately don't have a lot interesting to say about Day 15. Played for a while in both tournaments, didn't cash, not too many interesting hands. It was mostly ABC poker.
 | 
| It's nice when you're in the big blind, look at your cards right away and see aces then see (at 800/400/800 blinds): call, call, call, 4th call(?), all-in, fold around to you. All the limpers fold, aces hold up! He only had J-T.
 | 
| At that point I was around 35k from my 20k start, but as seems to be the case whenever I build up any kind of chip stack nothing seemed to work out for me after that.
 | 
| This one only had 100 or so people and I think was paying 12 places. I busted somewhere in the 40s.
 | 
| 7pm started out well. Was slowly building a chip stack through the first 6 levels, but last hand before the break I raised out with a suited ace to 1500 and (600/300/600) a 5k stack went over the top of me. Had to call, he had queens. I flopped an ace, he turned a queen and I was around 23,500 at the first break.
 | 
| Got very little for KK and AK, but did get something out of flopped trip jacks.
 | 
| I'm back down around 23k when I get into a 3 way all-in with QQ against AJ and KJ. So I'm basically flipping a coin to triple up. KJ was the short stack, I was the middle stack.
 | 
| Flop brought a king, no ace, and the side pot actually left me with a profit and put me over 31k.
 | 
| But that was the high point for me. Again I managed to get to about 45 paying 15 but got all in with an ace, ran into a pair, didn't get any help.
 | 
| In spite of how it's gone so far, I'm looking forward to Aria Saturday. A 3-stud mix! Let's see how that goes... |
