WSOP event #2

I played in the second event of the 2008 World Series of Poker yesterday. It was the largest non-main event in WSOP history, and the 4th largest live poker tournament in history. It was a $1500 no-limit hold 'em event, which is the smallest buy-in at the WSOP. I busted out about 3 hours which was fairly standard because you only start with 3000 chips and the blinds start at 25/50 (you don't start with many chips). I wasn't unhappy at all because I thought I played well and just didn't make any hands and ran into some hands when I tried to make moves.
However, I jumped right into the cash games at the Rio and played for about 8 hours with a break in the middle to eat dinner with a friend of mine that lives in Vegas. I ended the night up 5600, which is an excellent start to the trip. I am currently in the hotel room playing in the big sunday online tournaments, and then I might go play some cash games later tonight.
