The Mysterious 'TK'
Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
Several players have crossed the 100,000 chip mark as they enter Level 7, including a woman known only as 'TK'.
Recently, after Eli Loewenthal raised in early position to 1,800, TK three-bet to 5,000 in the cutoff. Brad sailor, who has gotten low on chips gave his decision some thought with only 11,500 left before folding, as did Loewenthal.
The pot pushed TK across the century mark as she's been playing well and using her growing stack to her advantage.

Daly Crushing Table 18
Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
Daryn Brush's stack at table 18 has been healthy and growing throughout the day, but a recent rush by tablemate Veronica Daly has seen her take over the position of Table Captain.
According to her tablemates, the carnage of this recent hand was just the latest in a string of bustouts at her hands.
With approximately 6,000 in the pot on a flop of 
, Daly checked in middle position to her opponent in the cutoff, who bet 2,000. Daly didn't hesitate before check-raising him all in for approximately 20,000 more.
After some deliberation, her opponent called and was on the verge of heading out the door (or to the registration desk for a re-entry)
Opponent: 
Veronica Daly: 
Daly's two pair was well in front, and held through the 
and 
runout. With her latest elimination, Daly's stack now is one of the biggest in the room.
