Had JJ. Raised pre. Guy went all in for 10K more. Thought for a bit. Called. Won. At 40K.

Got some run good juice. http://t.co/hTHIKMdpmn

2nd break. At 27K. Feeling good. A few big stacks at my table. A guy has called all ins with A 7 three times and keeps hitting. Wild.

About to wrap up level 8. 19K. Slow & steady wins the race.

At 16K. Raised with 88. 2 callers. Flop was AA8. Two diamonds. Bet flop. No one called. :(

Moved tables. Guy with 40K on my immediate left. Should be interesting.

Level 6 is in the books. Up to 15K. No knockouts at the table = no new chips. 3 to my left are short at around 4K.

1st level after break. Stacked stayed the same.

1st goal reached. Made it to first break. At 14K. Have a shorty on my immediate left so that's a challenge.
