Uncle In, Nephew Out

Joey "JoeytheB" Brooks, a frequent face in the biggest Atlantic City and online tournaments, is here with 105,000. "Grinding it out," he said, "as my nephew would say." Brooks' nephew is pro player Joe "Hoodini10" Udine, who busted earlier in the day.

"He's playing the $500K on Stars right now," says Joey with a laugh. "And checking PokerNews." Apparently, Udine didn't waste any time getting back to his hotel room.
