Starting stacks are 30k and Druff was pretty even between 27k and 34k for most of the day. (In contrast to the Limit events that were often pretty swingy).
He did battle with a Frenchman who laid a bluff on him, rivered a flush on him and otherwise tried to put a crimp in his day, but Druff prevailed when he picked up KK vs AQ and the Frenchman was happy to ship AQ on KQ2x turn, drawing dead. Druff got up to roughly $54k and ended the day with 53850. Average stack at this point is roughly 46k.
Druff observed "I am ranked 407 out of 1296 of the Day 1B players, but that doesn't mean much. "
Days 1A and 1B will be combined into Day 2A whereas Day 1C will have its own Day 2B.
End of Day 2:
Druff ends the day with 124100 chips on a rough average of 102k.
With some ups and downs, Druff lost a nice pot middle of Day 2 that would have put him in the mid 90s when a K rivered.
In a much better hand near the end of the day, Druff had 22 on the button, 24J flops, someone else wakes up with AJ and shoves.
Start of Day 3 Druff tweeted:
"1753 out of 6352 players remain. 648 cash"
With the threat of illness at the end of Day 2 and a slow start to Day 3 Druff was very card dead for most of the day. He did survive 1 double up with AK vs AJ to get back up to around 110k but after many hours of being forced to fold, or having terrible cards he picked up AK.
Unfortunately a very similar stack had AA and Druff didn't improve to end up with 1.5k chips which effectively ended his WSOP ME.
He was roughly 180 away from the money at the time.
