"Thanks for coming down and supporting the tournament. I want to wish everyone good luck. Obviously, everyone's in the money today. One of the common questions I get asked when I'm doing these things, is what happens if I win? Well, to answer your question I don't win the pass. Whoever comes second wins the pass, and I juts get all the money!
"Win-win situation, for me and you. I think half the field has already bust me on one of the Day 1s - I think I fired five or six bullets - so have fun today. We're gonna be playing down to a final table today. So have a good time, everybody shuffle up and deal!"
