Online Sharks vs. Vegas Sharks

Action Jeff - 2nd in chips
Action Jeff - 2nd in chips
With the addition of ActionJeff, Timex, and Durrr into the $100,000 event, it was interesting to see how they would hold up against the established Las Vegas pros like Phil Ivey, Allen Cunningham, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel and Gus Hansen (Las Vegas via Denmark).

So far, Timex was the only one of the online trio who has been eliminated, while Seidel, Hansen, and Cunningham are all out. Meanwhile, the two young guns are at the top of the chiplead. Durrr is leading the pack with 388,000 with ActionJeff not too far behind in second place.
