Event 19: Avoiding the Payne

$350 + $50 NL Survivor

Antoine Payne (Baltimore, MD) is looking for redemption after being one of the chip leaders at the dinner break in Event 10 and failing to cash. Today he says his 12k starting stack was down to 1,200 and he's now worked it back to 50k.

"Don't worry, I'll be around," Payne says with confidence. "This will be a good story when I make the money."

The field is down to 4 tables as 38 players remain. The top 7 players collect $3,500 with 8th place nabbing a little less than $2,000.
