Who's Where?

Level 5: 150,000-300,000, 30,000 ante

OK, a quick look at the tables remaining: - Table ten is way seperate from the rest and will presumably be the first to break. It includes Isaac Haxton, Eugene Todd and a potentially explosive pairing from yesterday: Haralabos Voulgaris and Ajdil Djokovic. - To call table nine full of personality would be an understatement. It includes genius lunatic Burt Boutin and the crazy queen of the WPT, Vanessa Rousso. Bill Edler sits quietly at the far end, while Austrian Martin Pollak adds a little more color by yelling while striking the table with two fists and full force every time he wins a pot. - If you're looking for bad table selection, try this out for size: Eric Mizrachi is sitting wiht our big comeback story John Gale, along with second chip leader Jon Turner, John Myung and the runner-up at our last Borgata event, Chris McCormack. - Nam Le looks like a potential force at a table including Chip Jett and Steve Dannenmann. Chip has already taken a big hit, and is now hovering around T150,000. - The last of the Bobby's Room big game players, David Oppenheim and John Phan headline what's likely our most powerful table. Joining them are Five Diamond final table finisher David Redlin, Alex Balandin and John Racener. - Davidson Matthew is sitting on Lee Markholt, Jr.'s left. - Old-schoolers David Sklansky and Padraig Parkinson are both on short stacks. Victor Ramdin will be looking to take them away.
