Big Cars, Bigger Buy-Ins

Justin qualified for the WPT Foxwoods 10,000 main event yesterday so he's up there right now still hanging around. They started with around 450 players and 20,000 chips and this'll stay updated as I hear from him.

12:11 PM...22,000 chips. He said he's table is extremely soft. Nobody recognizable.

3:23 PM...Around he'd guess 50 or 60 people have already dropped, although nobody at his table. He's got 26,600. Daniel Negreanu is right on the table behind him now. It's been raining kings for him he said.

4:44 PM...Negreanu's got a monster stack now. He was down to 26,575, didn't really see a hand. Massage people are everywhere near break time and was getting one. 200/400/50 level will double everything from this 100/200/25 level and should be the start of the real tournamnet.

6:20 PM...33,000 chips at the dinner break.

6:52 PM...Ate dinner with John D'Agostino and some other people at the dinner break. Hour and fifteen minute levels are absolutely perfect he said, and still hasn't had one showdown. Carlos Mortensen is out he said. One knockout total at his table. Only larger hand he won, 1200 raise mid-position from a semiloose aggressive kid, sb called and J called from the bb with A6 of diamonds. Flop is 947 two diamonds, sb check Justin bets 2500 the raiser makes it 7000 straight sb folds Justin stacks off raiser folds. His tables still very weak, and they are still 10 tables out to break..said they probably won't break until right before the end of the day or maybe not even until tommorrow. 3 Levels to go after dinner.

9:20 PM...41,000 chips, average is about 36 with one level to go and about 230 people left before the days over.

11:40 PM...Days over. 158 people left, chip counts still coming in. Justin's got 55,000 chips and says hes playing absolutely ridiculously good. Folded AA on the flop after raising preflop to one bet, board was KQJ. Play resumes at 11 AM tommorroww.

11:55 PM...They just took everyones chip counts so they should be posted on the internet soon I'm guessing. His final count was 55,500. Blinds ended today at 600/1200wante, so the pressure will increase tomorrow as well. By tomoroww evening people are saying they will be in the money. Negreanu is out on a side note, a flop of 5 7 10 when his set runs into 68 which had turned a 9 there was fireworks and Daniel didn't fill up and was gone.
