Pilgrim Sets Sail
Level 10
: 400/800, 100 ante
We were looking forward to reporting some big hands involving Dwyte Pilgrim, perhaps the biggest name at the start of the day. Unfortunately, Pilgrim couldn't get much going throughout the day and he has been eliminated from the WSOPC Harrah's Tunica Main Event.
The Big Stack of Kats
Level 10
: 400/800, 100 ante
As the tables break, players are shuffled about and we had lost track of Stephen Kats. We were worried he may have busted, but things couldn't be further from the truth. As it turns out, Kats is sitting in the far corner of the room. Not only that, he is sitting with what appears to be the biggest stack in the room, approximately 180,000. Needless to say, he is in good shape to make a deep run and add some points to his current total of 82.5.
