While nearly all of the 200+ plus left in contention for this WSOP bracelet are focused entirely on the vexing game of Pot-Limit Omaha, at least one can't keep his eyes on the table.

Dan Nicewander came to today's Day 1 dressed to impress, with a bright green special edition Chicago Blackhawks jersey declaring his hockey allegiances with the NHL Finals beginning tonight, featuring those Blackhawks and the Boston Bruins.

As the game has progressed, Nicewander's gaze has become transfixed on the television screen just twenty feet away, which is conveniently showing the national broadcast of his beloved Blackhawks as they play the Bruins in a heated, sudeen-death double overtime contest.

In a game where even the blink of an eye can cause fans to miss milestone moments, there is no doubt Nicewander wants to see his team score the deciding goal, but with only 2,200 or so chips remaining in his stack, sudden death may come faster than he hoped.
