More Faces

We're picking out a few more faces in the crowd - they either just sat down, or they escaped our view the first time around:

John "The Razor" Phan, Allen Cunningham, Ben Roberts, and Michael Binger.

Thor Hansen

Though Thor Hansen is in the final table of the $50,000 HORSE event, he's got a seat here now. There's a good reason for that - he's got enough for a few antes and bring-ins in the HORSE, after a sick beat toward the end of play last night.

Wow

Many pros may shun the $1500 events, but they love $5K and they love short-handed. You might consider this a preview of the main event, but be careful -- short-handed play is a very, very different beast than nine- or ten-handed.
