Day 3 here we come

I think yesterday might well have been the best day of poker that i have ever played. I started the day with 28,600 and got up to 40K early thanks to finding AK and AA early, then it got hard. Playing 250/500/50 it gets folded round to this chinese guy on the button who makes it 1400. SB folds and i call out the BB with K6 SOOOOOTED. Flop 8 7 5 and i lead for 2K just trying to pick it up. He raises to 6 and i smooth call. Turn K goes check check then when a 10 hits the river i bet 6K for value/defence and he insta raises all in for 18K more. If i called and lost i would have 3K back but this just smelt like a bluff and even though it was early i went with my instincts and called after about 30 secs, he had J8 and that was a good start for me.
Soon after the table broke and i was moved to one of the toughest tables i have ever played. I was in seat 4 and the 4 guys on my right were very strong aggressive players. The swedish player in seat 2 was very very strong player who plays 10/20, 25/50 on laddies with 200BB buy ins so the fact it was so deep stacked was a bit scary but i found some good hands to play at him with and thankfully the two players on my right (one was Liz Lieu) were the weakest on my table so i was able to play a lot from late position knowing they were gonna fold 95% of hands and i would have position.
After around 4 hours of floating between 60K-80K i managed to put a good run together playing 500/1000/100 and broke the 100K mark and then the inevitable big hand took place. The swede opens on the button for 3200 the sb calls and i make it 14K total from the BB with 1010 button calls and sb folds. Flop 5 4 3 and i bet 21K, he insta moves in for 47K more and although it was a very tough spot i thought i was committed against his range and called, he flipped K2 soooooooooted and i managed to fade the 11 outs and win the pot.
After that i ran the table, made a few hands and flopped a set of 2's V KK which tony would love and ended the day on 265K. Day 3 starts in an hour playing 800/1600/200 so lots of time to work out the table and then smash it up. Will ended his day with 91K and is playing on a table close to myn, wish us luck.
