[O Doyle Rules]

I went out the first day of the Main Event. I felt my table was tougher than average due to the fact I was playing with the same 9 people I started the tourney with eight hours later! At that time there had been over 40 other tables broken up.

At my table was Marco Traniello. (Jennifer Harmon's husband) He had 7 cashes in this year's WSOP. ALso at my table was Dutch Boyd's little brother. One other pro at my table was the girl from poker-babe.com.

Hand I went out on right before the fifth level was up:

I am in the Big Blind and pick up to two black tens. Everyone folds around to the cutoff who raises 3x the blind (600). I am down to about 2.5k in chips at this time so I decide to raise all in. He thinks for along time and says he knows he's way behind but calls. He turns over Q9 of diamonds. Flops comes all blanks and I am now an 85% favorite. Turn comes blank - 93% to win. Of course the Q shows up on the river and I say goodbye!

I played in event # 44 with the talking poker guy. We were at the same table for a little bit. Nice guy. I fared a little better in that one. Got down to the final 13 tables. (9 tables paid) Pretty much just went card dead for the last two hours. Hand I went out: AK of hearts v. 66.

Thanks for the interest!
