Sightings in the Field
As we mentioned before in our intro post, we've got Woody Moore, Howard "Tahoe" Andrew, Shiva Dudani and Ted Bort in the field today. Joining them, we've spotted Jim Pechac and Andrew Malott.
John "Cowboy" Land has also been spotted cutting out bets in the field. Land is from Frisco, Texas and holds not one, but two WSOP Circuit rings. Both came in prelim events last season at Harrah's Rincon and Harrah's Tunica.
We've also got a couple newly-minted Circuit ring winners in the field. Phillip Hui won Event #2: $345 No-Limit Hold'em. He bested a field of 407 to claim the first-place prize of $26,257. Matt Hughes is also sporting a brand new piece of jewelry after winning Event #17: 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em. He beat out 118 others and won $16,730. We'll see if either of these two can make a splash in the Main Event here in Tahoe or if any other of the prelim winners show up.
