The interesting story today was that Clinton J. McCollom and his father Ted McCollom both went deep into this event, and for most of the day were at the same table. A rare father-son final table did not occur, though, as McCollom just missed the final table at 11th. Still, this family has to be proud of their finish today -- especially if Ted goes even further tomorrow.
Leonard Pruzansky busted Carl Johnson in a boat-over-boat confrontation. Johnson turned a boat and Pruzansky rivered a bigger boat. This happened before a ten-player final table could be made (the same thing happened in Indiana), so they're redrawing right now.
