Analysis:

Flop: Standard. Hero has little equity against a Vil9's 3-bet range.
Turn: Hero bets with possibly best high hand and an ok low hand. Hero is surprised Vil9 did not bet, so Vil9 may have a counterfeited low. When Vil2 checks again on turn, hero likely has best equity.

Hero's stack: 14900 -> 7450

---------------
Level 4 - Blinds: 150/300

Preflop:
Hero (UTG): calls
(folds to Vil9)
Vil9 (BB): raises to 1000
Hero: calls
(2 players - 2150 in pot)
Flop: Jx 3s 5s
Hero: checks
Vil9: bets pot (2150
Hero: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: This is close. Hero has some nut flush blocking potential with gutshot wheel and nut low draw. Unfortunately, hero would basically be calling or raising for his tournament life. Hero does not believe there is much equity, so hero folds.
If hero had more chips, it might be interesting to check raise as semi-bluff with nut flush blocker.
---------------

(folds to Vil6)
Vil6 (SB): calls

Hero: checks
(2 players - 600 in pot)
River: Tx Kd 8d Td Qx
Vil6: checks
Hero: bets 400
Vil6: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Hero normally should bet for value. Hero decided to try to slowplay and protect hand in future situations.
Turn: Standard. Given hero's check on flop, hero needs to continue to show weakness in hopes of Vil6 bluffing or calling lighter on the river.
River: Standard. Unfortunately, Vil6 did not bluff or has air or is unable to call.
---------------

Board: Qc 2s 6h
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Standard. Hero has bottom 2 pair and nut low draw.
---------------
Hero out in level 4 with 28 minutes remaining.
There were 146 entries in Day 1B. This means there are 267 total entries across both flights. The $150k guarantee was easily eclipsed.
Analysis:
The table draws seem to be tough, which is normal given tournament buy in and venue (4 digit buyin at Venetian). Hero generally played ok, but there were not too many tough hand histories.
