It’s here, the day all poker players await. Day 1 of the world’s largest poker tournament. Started with 30k in chips. Had a series of bad luck hands. Had QQ on a J high board that had no way of connecting and he of course had flopped a set. I lost the minimum but chips are chips and it dropped me down. A series of hands which didn’t work kept me just keeping up. However, unlike many others of the 1400 who started, I survived Day 1 with 13k in chips and return on Saturday. New day then.
