We're down to 2 tables but play definitely slowed down a bit with this level even though it looked ominous when Vihn Nguyen was eliminated at the beginning. Only two other knockouts
20th - Vihn Nguyen - $26,000
19th - Natale Keuy - $26,000
18th - Kevin Lang - $32,500
Once the afternoon moved along we started to see the rail and stands fill up with onlookers. People from all walks of life are straining their necks to get a glimpse of someone they might have seen on TV. And you have the railbirds who are watching their amateur friends make a big score, either for friendship or a piece of the action.
The Borgata staff told a good story today about Chris Arvanitis. Out of 516 players to enter the Main Event, Chris was entrant number 516. He won the very last satellite and enter the tournament nearly 6 hours after the start. He's still sticking around and will make at least $32k for his late entrance.
