The 18 players left from yesterdays $2k, probably stunned from playing so late last night, have barely the energy to lift their chips. The usual exodus to the payout booth is more like the traffic to Santa Anita on an off day. Barry Greenstein, used to long shifts at the table has benefitted to the extent he is at the final table despite starting the day 18 of 18 with 30k in chips. Chris Bjorin just missed out on another leather LAPC jacket.
