It's a Marathon, Not a Sprint

Event 1: $350 + $50 DS NL (2 re-entry)   

Play resumed after dinner with 13 minutes remaining in level 13.

Surviving through dinner has given these players some newfound hope.  The all-ins are coming rapidly again now as players have been reminded that about 200 remain, but only 72 get paid.

They will play until 2am or to the final table, whichever comes first....that means they'll play until 2am.

'VIP' Nguyen got his chips in good holding A7 against QT.  It appeared he was headed for a double-up when an Ace flopped, but the last two came Queen, Ten, giving his opponent two pair and the pot.  VIP headed for the door.

Matt 'muffins' Mazzeo accomplished the same feat when he had a shorter-stack all-in with pocket 9s.  Matt held T8.  Matt caught an 8, then a Ten, to make two pair and claim the pot, sending another player home.

19 tables remain.
