Started the day with about 80k which was about half the average stack, but the 3rd hand I pick up JJ in middle position at 500/1k blinds in NLHE. Erik Seidel limps, I raise to 4k, everyone folds to Erik who calls. Flop AJ2 rainbow, check to me, I bet like 5500, Erik checkraises to like 13k, I call. Turn is a 5, Erik bets like 19k I call. River is a 4, Erik bets 30k, I go all in for like 15k more and Erik tanks for a few minutes but finally calls and my hand is good. Pretty crucial getting a double up on the 3rd hand of the day. After that I hovered between like 120-160k for the next few levels, then went on a mini-rush in the 2nd to last level to get over 200k for the first time in the tourney. Then the last level I got down to like 150k with a half hour left in the day, then went on an enormous rush in the limit games, scooping like 8 pots out of the last 20 hands dealt, and ended the day with 398,500, which is probably around 10th in chips with 74 people left going into day 3.
