Jason Holbrook was interviewed by ESPN a few minutes ago and showed a lot of class after being knocked out of the Main Event by David Oppenheim.
Since losing his eyesight, Holbrook has discovered his love of playing cards and hopes to return to the WSOP next year and win it.
As a producer escorted Holbrook, his hands on his assistant's shoulders, to the official ESPN interview center, one can only admire his courage. Poker is for everyone and Holbrook's effort today is an inspriation to us all.

Dan Harrington demonstrating the light
Any player competing in the World Series of Poker Main Event has been given a special treat: a Milwaukee's Best Toy Light. The toy is in the shape of a keg, and when you push a button on it, a light shines out the bottom and displays the WSOP logo.
Each player taking their seat at the start of the day is given one, and as we look throughout the Amazon Room we see many players playing with these lights and using them as cardtoppers. Scotty Nguyen was even seen playing and using his at the featured Bluff table earlier.

J.J. Liu, one of the top female players in the game today, and her husband Dan Alspach are both playing today. Both of them expect to do well, and they are also expecting! Yes, J.J. and Dan are expecting their first child in August. They are both very happy and all smiles. I asked J.J. how she has been feeling since she has been playing in quite a few events. She said, "I have been feeling wonderful!" She has that expectant mother glow (even Dan is glowing) and we wish them the best, today and with their coming new addition.

Jason Holbrook, who made quite a showing today for playing in the WSOP Main Event legally blind, has just been eliminated.
Holbrook flopped top pair against a single opponent, who happened to pick up a straight flush draw. Holbrook moved all-in and his opponent called. The turn completed his opponent's straight, and the river gave him a flush as well. It was clear as Holbrook exited, that he had earned the utmost respect from the players at his table.
