Haven't I Seen You Somewhere Before?

There's a middle-aged gentleman here today wearing an autographed St. Louis Cardinals baseball cap, a white long-sleeved "Broadway Truck Centers" shirt, and sporting various patches for Ford, PokerStars, and the Poker Players Alliance.

It's not what you're thinking. Dennis Phillips -- who finished Day 1c with an above-average stack of 62,325 -- did not manage to sneak in to play a second Day One.

Rather it is Phillips' friend, Bryan Swift, who's here to try and follow in the St. Louis account manager's footsteps and make the November Nine. We'll keep an eye on Swift's progress as the day proceeds.

Oh, and the autograph on Swift's cap? Dennis Phillips, of course.
