[Perthmike]

Feels a bit shit. I was so card dead today and when I did hit the river chopped it.

 

[mrplacey]

Always a gut punch when you bust. But hey Congrats! You cashed! Nice

 

[nightbird]

Nice run man. Shame you were so card dead on day 2. Better luck next year and hoping you run good for the remainder of the trip. Looking forward for more updates on your trip.

Great run Mike. Too bad the cards dried up today, but great run indeed. Now...get some sleep!!!

Can't the payout line is huge

 

[Phish1321]

overall, well done. at least you cashed

 

[Perthmike]

I would like to also say how impressed I am with the lack of organisation on show by the wsop. It takes a real special effort to be this shit and disorganised

 

[Marius L]

GG, decent run! Now you can afford some more harvesting

 

[Darson]

Well done Mike. To cash on your first MTT is amazing!

 

[JoeBGo]

Congrats on the cash Mike! I originally wanted to come down this weekend and try and play in the last flight Sunday. Things just weren’t going to work out for that. After seeing the lines and disorganization...I’m kind of thinking it would have been a PITA anyways. Good luck on the rest of your trip!

 

[Ghoti]

Nice run!

Congrats Mike and thanks for all the updates you did great

 

[abby99]

Congrats! What an experience, playing and cashing in your first WSOP tournament. Enjoy exploring the Strip. Wishing you safe travels home.

Thanks for the updates.

 

[STPcards]

Awesome run, congrats on the cash! For someone who has never been to the wsop this has been a fun thread to follow.

 

[toynoob]

Thanks for all the suspense, was a great read and journey Mike. Keep that head up !

Thanks @Perthmike for letting us all live vicariously through you these past two days, what a great run in your first WSOP event! Congratulations and enjoy the rest of the trip!

What does the winner get? And is this a bracelet event?

It is a bracelet event. Nobody knows what 1st place money is just yet, as there are still 2 more day 1s to play.

I would like to also say how impressed I am with the lack of organisation on show by the wsop. It takes a real special effort to be this shit and disorganised

WSOP management is sorely confused. Every year when they run huge, affordable events, they are stunned by the amount of players that show up. I'm sure they will make the same comments again this year too - "it was bigger than we expected". I had a brief interaction with them a few years ago when I was looking at the massive line for rebuys. I asked, "what did you think a bunch of poker players would want to do after being knocked out"

Their answer was "We thought they would go home".

As someone that has run a couple of conventions,and worked closely with others, I know that there is a lot of work and planning that needs to happen, but they simply miss the mark. I will bet that if you ask the dealers how long their shifts are, they will tell you they are miserably long. I've seen dealers go for hours without a push, because there simply aren't enough dealers for all the games that they are pitching at the same time.

Still, the WSOP will make comments like "we have more events than ever before". The leave out the part where they say "and the same staff size that we had 5 years ago".

Still, great that you more than doubled your money. I hope you still had fun. Looking forward to the rest of your trip report!

Negreanu said the exact opposite on Twitter, that he was impressed with how well the event is going based on its size. Pretty sure he’s not standing in line with everyone else.

Well done on the cash. More Matsui chips with the earnings?!

Well negreanu also sai "More Rake is Better" so can't really take anything he says seriously anymore .
