Filippi is the Man
Another player just busted, this time from Table 433 — around the 80th so far during the first 40 minutes of play today — and he'd nearly left the table without waiting for tourney staff to escort him to the cashier. But Amnon Filippi called out to the gentleman to wait, and eventually he was guided to where he was supposed to go.
"Amnon is the man," said Chris, the tourney director, acknowledging Filippi's assistance. "He's gonna be buying a black suit here soon."
Amnon flashed a brief grin, although returned to a serious look as he focused on the hand being dealt. Filippi has slipped some here in the early going, stack-wise, now sitting with less than what he started the day. But he's still the man at his table with the most chips with about 75,000, followed by Joe Cada sitting two to his left with about 66,000.
