Still Alive

I’m working on a longer write-up, but I don’t know when that will be done, so just to let you all know, I did survive Day 1 of the main event. It was a real roller coaster, as evidenced by my chip stack relative to the average at the end of each break.

We started with 20K chips.
At the end of level 1, I had over 30K, and average was like 22K.
At the end of level 2, I had 22K, and average was about 25K.
At the end of level 3, I had 12K, and average was around 30K.
At the end of level 4, I had 50K, and average was around 35K.
At the end of level 5, I had 22K, and average was about 45K.
I finished the day with 31,000, which is about half the average of 60K.
