Hinkle, Kern and Cutler Still Chatting

Table 513 has been affable and full of banter throughout Day 1d, 13 levels or no 13 levels, and a number of its original occupants are still in their seats. Since our last round in the Amazon room, Hinkle's stack has dropped to 31000 (in three chips) but he's still talking away. Most recently overheard object of discussion with Seat 9: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

"The previous species wasn't technically a chicken," said Hinkle, arguing emphatically and persuasively for the "egg" side.

Meanwhile, Alan Cutler just busted a player, adding 34,000 to his stack in an all-in preflop confrontation. Cutler's out-flopped the of his opponent and he joins the elite 200,000+ club in Level 11.
