Silvio is in Day 2 of the WSOP main event.

Bellow his article for the blog:

Day 1 passed!

A main event really difficult, played 5 levels of 2 hours each, and I finish Day1 with a stack of 30.5K , a bit under the average but still in a good position.

The 2 most important hands of the day:

At the end of 3rd level, I get KQ diamonds, in dealer position. 2 players limp in, I raise 3x, the 1st folds, the second calls. Flop K-Q-8. He bets again, I call only. The turn shows K and in this moment I have the nuts and try to get all his chips. He overbets, remaining with only 7k. If I raise I risk that he folds, so I only check. River shows a 10 and he goes all-in with Q-10, I call instantly for a pot of 23k, so I am up to 55K now…

After the 4th level, I get pocket queens QQ, UTG limps in, and so does another one in the middle… I bet 3.5X the BB, UTG folds and the middle one calls. Flop: J-10-9. I bet, he bet 3X, I call. Turn: A. I check, he bets, I
call, river shows a 4. He bets again, I call, btu I lose the pot, against A-Q. A pot of around 16K

Now 3 days to rest, (there will be Day1b, Day1c, Day1d) and on Friday I play Day2.

Greetings from Vegas,

Day 1 superato !!!!

Main event con un field super impegnativo, giocati 5 livelli da 2 ore l’ uno, al termine dei quali concludo con 30,5K un po’ sotto average ma comunque in ottima posizione.

Le due mani piu’ importanti della giornata

Alla fine del terzo livello sul bottone spillo KQ diamond, due persone fanno limp in mezzo ed io raiso X3, il primo folda il secondo colla. Flop K-Q-8. Il tizio in mezzo betta ed io faccio solo call. Turn K il tizio overbetta ed io a questo punto sono Nuts e voglio portargli via tutte le chips, rimane
dietro con 7k se raiso rischio che lui folda ed allora faccio solo check. River 10 lui va all in (con Q-10) ed io instant call per un pot di 23K circa che mi portano a 55K.

Meta’ quarto livello, UTG limpa, uno in mezzo limpa ed io sul BB Bet X3.5 con QQ, fold del limp e call del mezzo. Flop J-10-9. Io Bet lui tri-bet io call turn A io check lui bet io call river 4 io check lui bet io call e lo
trovo pieno con A-Q, pot perso di circa 16K

Ora 3 giorni di riposo (giocheranno il Day1b, Day1c, Day1d) e venerdi si gioca il Day2.

Un saluto da Vegas

Silvio
