Tournament Tidbits

Ben "The Milky Bar Kid" Grundy is playing quite well, seated two seats to the right of WSOP bracelet winner Katja Thater. On my last pass, I watched him scoop an 18,000 pot after shoving all in on a {9-Hearts}

flop. Currently, Grundy has just under 30,000 in chips.

For whatever reason, the two projection screens that display up-to-the-minute tournament data have gone black. We think there are approximately 15 minutes left in the round.

As was the case yesterday, the tournament area has become more and more crowded as the day's gone on. The room is absolutely massive, but everyone seems to be squeezed into a small area in the center of the room. Getting from one side of the room to the other is kind of like trying to get to the bathroom in an Irish pub, except without the beer... and the smoke... and the music... and... ok, maybe it's not like an Irish pub - but it's getting crowded up in here!
