Guess Who Won the First Race?

We still have about ten tables downstairs in the poker room, and we have a few chip counts from down there.
Dwyte Pilgrim's table was just broken, and he has joined Manny Minaya's world now. "Time to take charge," Pilgrim said as he walked up. "I don't know who was in charge here before. Was it you, Manny?" Minaya looked up from the glass of wine he was sipping to smirk, and Pilgrim let out one of those infectious belly laughs as he added, "Naw, I'm just kiddin'."

The big board shows we've ticked down under a milestone with 299 players remaining in the field. The plan today is to play 14 levels, and we'll begin the 60-minute levels four levels from now.
The chip math tells us we should have three tables left when play ends for the night around 2:00 A.M. There will be a dinner break from about 7-8:00 this evening.
