Looks like very early fireworks as I sit with my 15k start stack. The first hand two guys get the lot in preflop. They turn over AQ and AJ. Jesus.
The AJ turns a jack and tells his opponent "that's what you get for three-betting me twice before", Classy!
Looks like it's going to be gunfight at the OK corral on here. The guy who lost with the AQ decides to jam his last 5k in preflop at 50/100 with AK, my QQ calls him and he flops a king. Puts me down to 10k. Marvellous.
A few hands after three guys again get it in preflop. This is an $1100 event remember with $300 bounies.
They flip over 66, A9 and AJ. Sixes wins the lot. Feels a bit like the twilight zone...
What a truly weird event this is...
I'm seeing loads of preflop all ins with really scabby holdings. I feel like I must have missed a meeting. Right now the best approach almost seems to be to get anything premium and take a flip against one of these balloon heads. Not really what I'd prefer but the way they are playing it may be required.
30 min levels so approaching level 4 already. Still on 10k.
Currently 25/100/200 but it may as well be 300/2000/4000 the way my table is playing. Strong hands, strong draws, get paid.
That's the game plan anyway, in contrast to the other nine seats at the table!
We're at 161 players left from 220. People spinning out for fun. 12 levels of re entry!!
Back from the break and have just seen AJ smash AA to pieces all in preflop. What a silly game this is sometimes. At least in today's event there certainly seems to be zero room for any finesse whatsoever at this stage. Right now it's survival and play your strong hands hard. 8900.
The opportunity just arose and I managed to get it in bad for once. Raised with As9s and an old guy pops it back. Flop is 9 high with two spades and I lead out to induce a raise or win it there and then. Old guy repops and I shove. He calls with JJ. Oops.
Turn is an ace so I win with aces up when the river blanks. That'll learn him. Back to 16k.

Level 6 and we're at 50/200/400. No bounties as yet. I'll settle for still being in the damn thing the way it's played out so far.
Kid who had the 66 earlier just smashed some poor woman's KK to bits with A3 when he rivered an ace. He's walking on water and is up to around 90k with about 3 bounties. Must be nice.
His run continues. He gets 5k in preflop with AK, and on an A99 flop his opponent spazzes of his last 10k with...33.
To make it even funnier the 33 guy didn't even wait to see the turn or river, he just left the building!
Missed a flop with AK and down to 11.5k.
Another player gone, the one who beat my QQ earlier. He decided to shove with A9 on a 2385 board. The preflop raiser who had 82s gave him the bad news and is $300 better off.
Just like that, I'm out on level 7.
Flop the nut straight after raising with QdJd. Jam and get called by Kc5c who rivers a flush. Head shaking stuff.
Not going to dwell on it unduly. It's how you want people to play against you. When they hit its not so much fun but it is what it is. Call it a day and rest up for the WSOP tomorrow now.
