Railbirds
Now that the rebuy period is over and players have either bagged Day 2 or can no longer buy in, a few of them have been strolling through the tournament floor.
Most notably, Mike Dentale who bagged 252,000 last night came by to check on Chris Staats. Last night, Dentale made a last longer bet and has an interest in whether or not Staats bags tonight.
Dentale bet he would last longer than Staats, but he made the bet with one of Staats' friends and not Staats himself. Dentale came by to check on Staats shortly after Staats lost two all ins. Staats called an all in with pocket kings and Michael Perrone flopped a straight to beat him. Then Staats got in a three-way all in with 
against pocket eights and an unknown hand. The eights won the hand and Staats was left with about 30,000. He has since worked it back up to 51,000.
Clint Tolbert, who recently busted is also hanging around the tournament floor checking on the status of Maria Ho.
"Can you guys hurry up and bust her?" Tolbert asked the table, "you guys can have the chips and I can have the girl."
Ho doubled shortly after dinner break and hasn't gotten much going since then. She still has around 15 big blinds and it could go either way pretty quickly from here.
