Hat Change
Level 36: 200,000-400,000, 40,000 ante
During the break, Nam Le must have changed his hat. Previously he was sporting a black Pittsburgh Pirates cap. Now, possibly to change his luck, he is wearing a red L.A. Dodgers cap. We'd like to believe there is some deep underlying psychological reasoning for the change, but we doubt it.

Level 36: 200,000-400,000, 40,000 ante
Joe Sebok was all in preflop for about 27,000 with A-A against another player's K-K. Stop me if you've heard this one before ... The flop brings a king, cracking Sebok's aces and busting him out of the tournament.
