Good Luck Nick, Just don't get to big headed if you take someone like Phil Ivey out.

Also Nick hasn't won so how come he has a Card Protector.

Something sneaky going on there.

Bax - 70k (just doubled)
Annette15 - 42k
Dino_Nothing - 115k *Nick

Here is a quick update

Players have now hit the bubble...and are playing hand for hand.

AK87, Dino_Nothing, and Imper1um are probably happy to be getting new seats after the redraw. But with the field narrowed to 54 there aren't really any weak players remaining.
