Harman Enters
We have returned from the break with an extra few registrations, bringing the grand total so far to 137. One of those players is Jennifer Harman and she has been seated on the right of none other than Annie Duke.
Harman has more than $2.5 million in tournament winnings on her resume, including two World Series of Poker gold bracelets. One of those bracelets was in a $5,000 Limit Holdem event in 2002. She will be one to watch here in this event.

New Table Open
A new table has opened after the break here in Event 20 and it certainly features some poker chops, with Mario Ho, Chad Brown, Mike Sowers and Matt Glantz all sitting at the felt.
Glantz is fresh off his 7th-place finish in the $1,500 6-Max event earlier today and will be looking for an even better result here. Brown, Ho and Sowers are also some players to be feared, as they will be looking to post a deep run during this year's World Series of Poker.

Baker Raking Them In
David "ODB" Baker has been able to see his stack increase to well over 20,000, courtesy of multiple small pots. We recently arrived at Baker's table with a flop showing 
and Baker and an opponent committing one bet to see a 
hit the turn. This time Baker's opponent would bet and Baker raise. A call and the 
would complete the board. Baker's opponent would opt to check here and Baker flicked in a bet. The player wanted no part of this hand and sent the nice little pot to Baker.

Pilgrim Doesn't Get There
When we arrived at Table 361, there was a board showing 
and Dwyte Pilgrim led out with a bet of 400 on the river. He was up against one opponent and they flicked out a 1,000-denomination chip.
"See, i told you i aint playing nothing less than jacks today," said Pilgrim as he tabled 
and waited to see his opponent's hand.
"She said raise," quipped the player on Pilgrim's right.
"Oh, shit, so you got me beat then," said Pilgrim as he put in the extra chips to make the call.
He was right, his hand was beat. The player turned over 
and took down the pot with a straight. Despite losing that hand, Pilgrim has had a pretty solid start today and sits with plenty of chips.
