Our friend X read the first posts and suggested it might be interesting to look back at his tweets from the Main Event (link is to various poker pros twitter handles), to keep track of him in the Main Event, especially since he somehow manages to duck ESPN’s cameras for quite some time, as you’ll see. Each day starts at noon and ends . . . late. Tournaments can be a roller coaster ride, especially for more aggressive players (which X can certainly be, at times), but X’s ride on the first days was pretty steady. So, yeah, wanna go deep in the Big One? Just do this:
(Starting stack for the Main Event, once again, is 30k. Text in parens is mine):

Seems simple enough, right?

This is great. Exactly the coverage I was hoping for.
