Day 5 - Friday 3rd July

Watched the Watson match in the morning. Amazing that she was so close to 4-0 in the third set, and even more amazing the she came back after Williams won four in a row. Anyway. There are 20 tables and I"m on table 17, so I know I will break quite quickly. In fact, at this short break to colour up I"ve just moved, raised with 33 mid-position (MP) and got it through. For the first hour I chipped up a little. The very first hand I get JJ in MP, UTG raises and I call and the SB re-raises. I decide to get out of the way. I should have raised really, but no harm done. My two main hands are with the bloke to my immediate left when I was SB. First one, it"s folded to me and I raise with A4. He calls. Flop is unpleasant (622), I bet and he folds. The next one was the same situation, except this time I just call with AJ and he doesn"t raise. Flop has an ace on it so I check, he bets 6k (blinds are 500/2.5k/5k) and I call. Turn is a jack! I bet 12k and he calls. River is a brick. I should have bet here but bottle it. It goes check/check and he mucks. So I"m up to about 270k and we just need one more table to break to be in the money. It will probably go quite mad after that because the jumps in payout are quite small until the Final Table..There"s $990 for 135th and you need to get to 35th to make $3k. 9th is about $11k and there"s $118k at the top.

A good couple of levels. I"ve been moved three times, but I quite like that because I raise a few hands and they don"t know what to make of me. There have been so many hands it"s tough to remember them all, and I only have 15 minutes to get them all down. There were two cases where the board ran out a straight; it helped my one time but not the other. In one of them, I checked the river and the other bloke went all in. I had to think for a bit to check there was no flush! Apparently you have to bet in this situation otherwise it might be collusion. I"d never heard of that before. I"ve won quite a few chips from three-betting and then they fold. A short stack went all in with about 100k and I had AQ. He had K3 and missed. I raised to steal with Jc6c (it"s the hand that knocked me out the first time I cashed in the WSOP) and the BB called. The flop gave me the flush draw, I bet he calls. The turn gives me a jack, check/check. The river is a king and we both check again, but the jack is good. Just before the break I get moved to Table 5, so hopefully I won"t move for a couple of hours now. So now I"m on about 560k and the average is 340k. Only 80 left and I"ve got $1,500 locked up. All very exciting.
