WSOP 2008 - Day 2C - Too much Corona at Dinner

Level 2 - Blinds 100/200
I work my stack up to 24k by the second break. This is mainly down to one hand where I raised with 2 red kings from mid position and then just called a pretty big reraise from tight girl rather than recklessly move all-in. When the flop comes 579 with 2 spades I check raise her 2,500 bet with a further 5,000 on top to give her the wrong odds to call if she has the plausible AKs. She folded.

Level 3 - Blinds 150/300
After the excitement of Aces and Kings I get little action in this session. The Milwaukee kid is drinking more and more beer and has one epic hand where he manages not to do his entire stack when holding a Q into a board of AAQ7Q. After this good laydown he gets JJ vs Amir's AQ and they hold up which doubles him up from 6k. He then goes on a bit of a tear up to work his way up to 50k at the end of the day.
I fold AJ twice under the gun and a pair of 8's in the small blind after a reraise - move over Gareth I am now the tight play king. Towards the end of the session I reraise the gifted amateur with AK both spades. So what flop do I not want to see? something like QJ6 with 2 diamonds. He bets 4k into the 6k pot and I make an easy laydown. Given his preflop play and the fact he is playing tighter than me there is no way he could have raised preflop with the only hand I am beating of AT.

At the end of this level we are on dinner break and I dutifully report to the Betfair scorer my stack of 18,000 and they put this on their whiteboard. This is not too bad but I think I am going to have to make a move after dinner so I chose to have a couple of Coronas to wash down the excellent meatballs we are served in the Betfair room as suitable preparation. RB is tucking into the white wine and has been doing good subversive work chatting to the other WAGs on the rail just before the break - hopefully their other halves will be tilting after dinner.
