Refreshed and Ready to Go

I haven't played a WSOP event since busting day two of the 2k LHE just before the money bubble. Had a lot of fun in that touney despite running like hell on day two and busting just before the money. I lost most of my chips on two hands, both of which involved Phil H, I dont think I could have played either hand differently.

PH raises UTG +2 I pick up kk, my first real hand of the day and three-bet. Folds around to EU guy in bb who 4 bets, PH flats as do I to disguise the strength of my hand. Flop comes QJ4 rainbow EU bets out PH and I both just call. After making bet on flop EU guy is left with 1/2 a bet. I just flat flop intending to get an addition 1 and 1/2 bets out of PH on turn. Turn is 2, EU puts in his last bet and PH calls. I read PH for weak although there inst much I can beat so I put in a raise to build a side pot. PH calls but then insta-folds the blank river showing AKo in disgust. EU guy has AA obv so I scoop tiny side pot.

An hour or so later I have 12 bets when the following hand transpires. PH raises mid-pos and I three-bet QQ, my second real hand of the day. Flop comes T69 rainbow. PH check calls flop. Turn 2. PH check calls again. River 7. PH leads. LOL. I call altho I guess top notch limit players just muck the QQ in this spot. He flips over A8o. Pretty ironic way to lose the majority of my remaining chips since PH had been referring to me as, "the guy who plays A7 off suit" for the majority of the day.

2.5k limit/NL today. Negreanu's charity golf tounrney tomorrow if I bust. Pretty sick weekend schedule with the 3k 3x chance. Planning to make day two of Sat 1500 and play both simultaniously.
