Step 1: Get dealt 66x1, 55x2, 22x1 and no other pairs or AT+ in 4 hoursStep 2: Drift down from 93K at 1/2K to 43K at 2/4K
Step 3: Lose a race
Step 4: Collect a 3.5 buyin payout for finishing 112'th of 3100-odd people
Honestly, I can't complain - this wasn't the worst tourney I've played this WSOP, but I caught my share of breaks on Day 1 to finish where I did. It does suck to run this cold in the important spots, however.
Full report coming when I get a chance to type it out. I'm changing plans and actually playing in the 1K rebuy tomorrow, so this may take a little while.

Bummer. I was keeping track of you on pokernews. There is nothing more depressing than seeing junk cards for hour after hour when you really need to catch some hands. I look forward to reading your full write-up and see if you discuss any thoughts or attempts to keep your stack by stealing or restealing. It gets tough in these things because you keep on convincing yourself that you're going to get a decent hand and sometimes it just never happens.
