$50k HORSE, $2500 2-7 Triple Draw, Exercise, Main Event

I started Day 1 in the $50k HORSE off with the softest table in the room, and made good use of it. I quickly climbed to the chip lead or top 5 for most of the day. On Day 2, I won quite a few pots in the first hour while the limits were low, but as they moved up I really never won any, but STILL managed to straggle into Day 3 with 3'rd or 4'th lowest chipcount. Before the end of the night though I got some bad infection and got a doctor to prescribe me some antibiotics to knock it out real quick and should be preventive as well for the Main Event hopefully. On Day 3 I outlasted 33% of the remaining field without ever winning a pot again. I made one terrible play late on Day 2 and it may have been because I was sweating with a 102 degree fever and not focused. Other than that, I'm satisfied with my play. Unfortunately I had a $10k last longer and a $10k in the money with John Hansen and of course he crushed everybody and got 2'nd place.

I made it deep in the $2500 2-7 Triple Draw as I expected the entire way. 2-7 Triple Draw is probably my third best game. I basically coasted all of Day 1 and when I came into Day 2 I won every pot the first half hour including calling with a pair of 2's and calling the guy's exact hand basically. About two hours in, I tanked for a while and called a guy with a pair of 4's who I for certain knew he was bluffing...he tapped the table and said "nice call" and I tabled my hand and he said, oh wait, I got you, and showed a pair of 3's. Extremely annoying after I thought I made a great call. I play a lot regularly with Abe Mosseri in cash games and played with him in the tournament as well(the winner of the tournament) and I consider him to be top 3 or 4 in the world at triple draw. We made it just into the money and then I got frustrated and based off of some information I thought I had, I made a very crazy play with my tournament life and got punished, I won't go into detail about that.

For the past few days I've been lounging around the house working out trying to get myself ready for the big one. I'm ready for the tournament and will be entirely focused on the table as usual. Tonight I'm going to Tom Dwan (durrrrrrrrr)'s party for 4'th of July and will hang out there for a little bit. Happy 4'th of July everyone, have a good one.
