Adelaide - Feb 2009 - Main Event - Day 2

In the end a bit of a damp squib exit.
At the start of Level 10 with blinds 600/1200/200 I am struggling in 65th place out of 77 remaining players with 23,600 chips.
I don't see any cards until about 5o mins in when I shove from the small blind with 77 after a standard raise and a limp. I am called by the raiser with AK. Luckily the limper folded A8, since that flopped, but I survived to move up to 33k.

Level 11 800/1600/200.
Called a min raise with one other caller in the BB with A8 suited clubs. Flop is T84c. I am tempted to bet but decide to see what happens. Raiser bets 5k and the caller folds. I think on reflection I might have been ahead and perhaps should have pushed. However I decided to call and push all-in if a club came on the turn. It didn't and when he bet again I folded.
A few hands later the player to my right called so when I see TT I push all-in. He makes the call with AT - a result that puts me up to 44k when no A comes.
I get no more hands and just before the break I try to steal from late position with KT but have to fold to a reraise.

Level 12 1000/2000/300
I am still seeing nothing so try another late position raise with Q9 - the BB reraises me all-in and I have to fold again.
Now I am down to 20k when I get A4 of hearts on the button. I shove all-in but I am called by 77. The dealer flops T35 with 2 hearts but no joy on the turn or river and I am out.

To be honest, I don't think I made any huge mistakes, perhaps the only one was not to bet out with second pair in Level 11. I am quite happy with coming 45th out of 211 runners - and finishing top european...!
