Tilly Doubles Through Harwood
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
Jennifer Tilly found herself down to 1,675 chips and moved them all into the middle from her seat in the hijack position. The cutoff folded, Loni Harwood flat-called on the button and when the blinds ducked out of the way the cards were revealed.
Tilly: 
Harwood: 
Layne Flack rued his luck. He folded 
and the dealer placed the 
flop onto the felt. The 
on the turn failed to alter the hand, and neither did the 
on the river.
Both Tilly and Harwood now have around their starting stacks.

“Green Crusher” Symesko Out Front
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
Chris Symesko has just moved tables and it looks like he is in the lead in the early stages of the tournament.
He was regaling his new tablemates with tales of how his last table gave him the nickname of “Green Crusher”, considering he hovered up several towers of the green T25 chips. But that’s not the half of it, as he has accumulated 48,350 total in just under six levels. One hand that helped was - as he told it - when an opponent jammed on him on the river and he called saying, “Nuts.” His felted opponent responded forlornly, “Really.”

Parker Back from the Grave
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
By no means a big stack, but mountainous compared to where he was. A player from the table tells us that Brock Parker was down to a single green T25 chip at one point today.
Parker is looking to create his own legendary "chip-and-a-chair" story.
