WSOP Day Three, 11am

I arrived at the Rio at 10am since I had heard that some of the big name players tend to be around early to do autographs. Sadly, I didn't see any. I have a hunch that most won't be around today... since today is only the $1000 event, I'll bet that the pros don't bother with it and decide to take the day off, especially with the big HORSE event later this week.

So I decided to play another satellite. I bought into a $175 satellite, and they told us that we had to be done by 11:20 since they need to set up for the big event. To speed things along, they did 10 minute rounds rather than the usual 15 minute ones.

I busted out in 5th place about 30 minutes. I just got no cards, and didn't have any opportunites to do much. At least I went all in at the end with a decent hand (ace-5) but two larger stacks decided to battle too, so I was well behind. Oh well.

So the $1000 event starts around noon... I'm killing time now until that starts. Hopefully I'll be able to post some updates during the day.
