Among those who were registered to play today but never made it were PokerStars Sports Star Boris Becker and Team PokerStars Pros Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and Sandra Naujoks. We presume they will be playing tomorrow. Rather less fortunate is Dutch pro Jasper Wetemans. He was under the impression that he was registered for tomorrow, so spent this afternoon drinking instead. He discovered his mistake when some buddies called to see where he was. He's coming down now. With apparently seven beers inside of him. Good luck, Mr. Wetemans!

He sat in the tank for a minute or two, sitting absolutely still. Finally, he put his hands behind his full stacks and slid them all across the line -- an all-in wager of about 46,000. Stallinger gave a long look at Sarwer before shaking his head and open-mucking
