Event 9: Grinding Away

$300 + $50 PLO

They're down to five tables over in the PLO event.

Defending runner-up Thomas Palombo is history. His Buddha card protector didn't do the job today and he has busted out.

Kevin Wolbach and Tim Dallessandro

Kevin Wolbach (Macungie,PA) is the current chip leader with about 55k and Tim Dalessandro could be second with ~40k. They also happen to be seated side-by-side.

The last few minutes of level 7 (blinds 200/400) are winding down. Play will continue into level 8 with blinds of 300/600.
