Another Face in the Crowd
Our first couple passes through the field this afternoon turned up a lamentably sparse crowd of notables. As play has progressed, though, we've been able to pick through the faces a bit more thoroughly, and we're starting to find some more familiar ones scattered throughout the room.
The latest man we came across was Stan Quinn, hidden quietly behind a very loud hat with a busy pattern and the letters "SJ" emblazoned on the front. You may or may not know his name, but we became well familiar with him when he won the 2010-11 Main Event at Harvey's Lake Tahoe. The rest of Quinn's tournament results have come entirely west of the Rockies, so it's nice to see him make the trip down to Palm Beach to try for another Main Event ring.

Pipitone is Coming in to Your Town
Level 6
: 150/300, 25 ante
We've just met Carl Pipitone.
We didn't know him before this hand, and we expect you didn't either. In fact, his friend nearby called him the "worst player in the room." We won't go that far, but the gentleman sitting across the table from Pipitone might feel that way after the last hand before the break.
Mr. Pipitone got all 18,025 of his chips into the middle with 
on a 
. There's hardly anything amateur about that, but he was unlucky enough to run smack into Mr. Opponent's 
to leave him drawing dead to the case queen. No problem.
Turn: 
It's an easy game sometimes, and the four queens put Pipitone in front with one to come. He faded the reverse one-outer on the 
river, and he's found a big double to climb back close to 40,000.

Brady Eliminated
Just before the end of Level 6, Matt Brady got his last 2,825 into the middle with 
and faced off against two opponents.
A 
flop gave Brady outs to a straight, but he blanked on the turn and 
river. One of his opponents tabled 
to win the pot and eliminate Brady.

Miles Away
TK Miles was all in for about 6,000 holding what looked to be 
(one might have been a spade) and was slightly trailing the 
held by his opponent.
A 
flop wasn't all that that helpful to Miles, considering his opponent had the nut flush draw. The 
turn gave Miles' opponent a straight and further improved his hand when the 
river gave him a nut flush to end Miles' flight.
