$150 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 16: 2,000/4,000/500 Ante

Out of the 239 players who started today’s play, you’d think that the top seven stacks would be able to stay away from each other in a random draw.

Not this time as Mano Manouchakian and Nicholas Goodwin not only ended up on the same table but right next to each other putting up a formidable chip wall for the rest of their table to try to penetrate.

Also just making his way into the room a few minutes ago was the player who came into today second in chips, Michael Rumie.  He got here a little late but is back in the swing of things looking for the Event 5 championship.

After a fast first level of eliminations including Earl Barron, the field has now gone down to 216 players as we play on here in Day 2.
