Just a quick note from Australia.

Ended day 1 with 60.4k. High point being near 90k, but spewed some off/ran kinda crappy during the last level. I ended day 1 last year with around 40k, so I'm feeling good about my chances. I'm on a nice little run in these major events - this being my 4th consecutive day 2, all of which I've been able to build stacks in.

I continue tomorrow (I believe 7:30pm EST), blinds will be 400/800/100, average stack being around 45k. We'll likely play down to the money. For a number of reasons, some more obvious than others, I'd really like to go deep in this one. It's going to be the last major I play for awhile, and it was also the first major event I'd ever cashed in. Besides WSOPE, this is probably the biggest event an < 21 year old can win, as far as prestige and such. Pretty much whoever wins becomes the Poker icon of the continent for the year.


Well, that's it from Australia.
