Marek Kolk, who happens to work for Pokernews, was the last player to win his table and advance to Round 2. Due to scheduling, Round 2 had a mandatory start time of 9 p.m. PDT, even though Marek's win didn't occur until 8:55 p.m. PDT. Marek let us know that he ran as quickly as he could to the kitchen, where he purchased a king-sized Twix candy bar, ate as quickly as he could, then ran back to the Amazon room. Marek is seated at Table 1 and hopes that his dinner break was enough to hold him over.
