Dutch Boyd = Clark Kent?

Dutch Boyd has entered into the Orange section and is walking around each table, glancing over players and watching some of the action take place.

At first, one might ask why they're letting a non-player walk through the tournament area. However, Dutch is wearing a media badge which happens to be allowing him uninterrupted access to the players.

Dutch is wearing his typical attire: sunglasses, baggy clothes, do-rag and all. We're not sure exactly what he's reporting on, or who he's reporting to.

Not that there's ever a good time to run into pocket aces, but Evelyn Ng was all in preflop with pocket jacks against a short stack's aces and the bullets held up. The good news for Evelyn is that despite the loss she still has a 150,000 stack.
