Aussie Millions prelims

I made it ITM in one of the preliminary Aussie Millions tourneys. It was a $1650 bounty tournament where there was a $1k bounty on one designated player at each table. I didn't win any bounties (yet) but I did make my way into the final 32 players. Day 2 begins in a couple hours, Pokernews is doing the live reporting here and 1st place gets $151k so go me!

I have a pretty tough table draw though and since it's a shootout format from here on out I'll have to deal with these players until there are just two of us left.

***EDIT***
I finished 6th for $25.2k, not a bad result but still somewhat unsatisfying. That's the thing about tournaments, though. Nobody is satisfied except the winner.
