This event is starting now.
Looks like it will be just Bokkie playing since Nazgul is still in Event #8.
Nazgul is still waiting to get seated.
Bokkie
As expected, lots of pros in this event:
Michael Mizrachi
ElkY
Mike Sexton
It's a fixed limit event, so don't expect much big action in these early levels.
Bokkie however did manage to pick up 3k chips and is up to 33k now.
Nazgul is down to 20k (from 30k start stack) He has a pretty tough table with Eli Elezra and Todd Brunson, plus a few good young guns.
Bokkie has a relatively softer table, and is up to 40k now.
Blinds are 200/400 now.
Nazgul said that he missed three monster draws in 8k pots each time. He capped the turn in each of those hands. Previously, he was already up to 37k.
Nazgul 18k
Bokkie 42k
blinds are 250/500
Nazgul is still not hitting his monsters, he was up to 27k, but then went back down to 18k.
He told me about a hand:
On a flop of K Q 9 single suited, Nazgul had A Q J 2 for mid pair + gutshot+ nut flush draw. He leads out and one player anc Eli Elezra call.
Q on the turn, Nazgul leads again, villain raises, Elezra re-raises, and Nazgul folds ("I'm always behind there"), villain caps and Elezra calls.
5 on the river, villain bets out, Elezra calls and villain shows KKT5 rainbow while Elezra has QJT9.
**Elezra had 3-bet Nazgul preflop.
Bokkie also told me about a hand he won:
tg limp, Bokkie raises BU to 1k, UTG calls.
Flop Q J 4 ♣:c:s, villain checks, Bokkie bets, villain raises and Bokkie calls.
Turn 4, villain bets and Bokkie calls.
Offsuit 3 on the river, villain bets and Bokkie calls again.
Bokkie has AAxx and villain had ATxx

Bets are 600/1,200 now (300/600 blind)
Nazgul said: " Can't really do anything now, just be patient and wait"
Bokkie told me that he lost 3 big pots in a row. All 3 times with A2xx, and with the nut low and nut flush draws. Once, the winner won with a pair of 3s on a 36QQK board.
Unfortunately, there's nothing to report at the moment. Chip counts are still more or less the same.
We're done in Day 1.
Good news! Both our players made it into Day 2.
Nazgul 37,400
Bokkie 38,400
Both are just above average.
There are 168 from the 202 starters remaining.
Blinds tomorrow will be 600/1,200
Nothing much too interesting to report about Bokkie, but Nazgul made a huge turnaround in the last 30 minutes.
When i went to his table, he had about 10k chips left and was involved in a hand. After the action on the river, he didn't even have 1k left, but he hit quads with no low hand on the board, so he scooped that hand and pretty much doubled up.
Not long later, he was back up to over 30k. Nazgul hit the nut nut, and managed to get a calldown by a player with the nut low.
So after grinding the short stack for most of the evening, Nazgul's patience paid off!
Nazgul: "I'm a fucking magician"
They resume at 3pm tomorrow, so come back then to track Nazgul and Bokkie's progress.

First updates from Day 2 soon
Blinds are up to 800/1,500.
Nazgul 30k
Bokkie 40k
Bokkie was up to 55k at one point but lost some hands. Bran Hastings meanwhile has busted from Bokkie's table.
Nazgul lost a pretty big pot, missing his flush draw and having a no good low on the river.
Villain had barrelled every street and Nazgul said he was thinking of check-raising the river, but gave up his K K 2 3 on the 8:c 7:s 5:s J:d 3:c board
