No Parking

Michael Lampel stopping traffic
Michael Lampel stopping traffic
It's that time of the tournament when no one is safe. Time to make a run for the top of the leaderboard or hit the rail. Tables are breaking like crazy, so no one gets to park for long.

Michael Lampel hopes he'll be surging forward rather than driving elsewhere, but he's only got about 30,000 to work with. Lampel made a bet with a friend before he played in a super satellite for the Main Event. If Lampel won his seat and made Day 2, his friend would pay him €1,000 to wear his "No Parking" hat. If he won a seat but didn't make Day 2, he'd have to pay his friend €1,000. Lampel bought the traffic-stopping hat in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day two years ago and hopes it brings him good luck today in addition to the €1,000 he's already owed.
