Grant Hillman and Drew Caseri are both back in the field for this evening session, looking for repeat runs to the final table. Both men were felted during the morning flight, and they're on their last bullets here with the maximum $3,200 committed this Main Event.
We've also spotted Donna Jetter, a lady we mentioned briefly earlier. She, too, final tabled this event last year, but she's chosen to go with only a single bullet here in the evening flight.

The recent action has been dreadfully slow here during the first three levels, and most of the players are more interested in the football games on TV than the poker tournament they've payed $1,600 to enter. Or for some, double that.
But the USC/Oregon game has just ended, drawing the attention back to the felt. We'll see if the action picks up.
A small field coupled with small blinds and slow action leaves time to look over the field. Here's what we see:
3 Beanies
7 Hoodies with the hood pulled up
11 Pairs of sunglasses
5 Pairs of Apple ear buds
2 Pairs of Beats by Dre headphones
1 Pair of Bose headphones
There is a player at Table 36 that is acting quite, quite slowly on every decision. We tend to be a little impatient as tournament reporters, so we use the other players as our barometer. And the other players are not happy. Mr. Tanker has been clocked at least three different times, and frustration is being passed around the table like the blinds and button.
Floorman Dennis has just reduced the player's clock to 30 seconds, and he had a few snide words for his table mates as he was informed of the reduction.
