Well I am 5 hours into the Mini FTSOP event #16, after winning an entry in a satalite.  It is a $109 buy-in no limit hold'em tournament with 6000 chips to start and 4011 players making for a $101,100 prize pool.
The top 450 cached I am am already there sitting at 253 of 402 with 38,595 chips.  The average stack is 60,165 so I have some work to do.
We just hit blind level 23, 1400/2800 with a 350 ante.  My chip stack has not changed much over the past 30 minutes, 38,095 sitting in 233 of 287 with the average stack being 84,146.  I have had two playable hands, A8 sutied in late position, and KK in early position.  In both cases I opened raised and everyone else folded.  I only have 13.5 times the BB so I am getting close to the position where all in is pretty much my only move, but I can pick up 7350 chips fromt he blinds and antes if I can steal which would is about 20% of my stack.
With 35,000 chips left I got dealt AA in early position.  I bet about 2.5 times the BB, one person called and then the BB went all in, which I of course called and the other guy folded.  He flipped over JJ and I had him dominated with a 85,000 chip pot.  A J came on the flop and I was out in 220 place wining $260, a very disappointing end as that pot would have moved me into 125th place and given me 25 big blinds to work with.
Overall I am now up to $1700.
