Hold On! Let Me Take Your Picture!!

Marcel Luske, Jennifer Harman, Steve Zolotow, and Hoyt Corkins all started this final table. A three-handed matchup for the ages has been going on for over a couple of hours now and with all the action at tonight's table, you wouldn't believe what has gotten the most photograph requests. Since bringing the bracelet out with three players left, the bracelet has probably had several hundred pictures taken of it. People at one point were lining up to take a picture of it. One of the dealers was actually turning the bracelet to different angles so that people could take pictures.
