Level 22 was a lot crazier than expected. We lost 7 players during the level and just about down to 2 tables. My seat in media row is conveniently situated right next to Deb from the Borgata who is responsible for paying out players when they bust. I get to hear the players story straight from their mouth.
Ted Forrest was the first eliminate and definitely the sickest. Thayer Rassmussen put nearly half his stack at risk with pocket 8's. His two outter on the river cracked the aces for Forrest. He immediately left the area without getting paid. I'm assuming he left to take his frustrations out on some local donkey. He eventually came back to collect and went straight for the high limit area. He collected $26,000 for the effort.
Also eliminated during Level 22:
26th - Ralph Villela - $26,000
25th - Mikiya Takitani - $26,000
24th - Nam Le - $26,000
23rd - Chris Bell - $26,000
22nd - Randy Pfeifer - $26,000
21st - Christopher Baksh - $26,000
Perhaps things will slow now that some of the smaller stacks have been taken out.
