Moe Maghraoui made Day 2 of Event 22 ($150 NLH) but that didn’t start until 5pm, so he entered Event 24 ($200 Big Stack NLH) which started at 12 noon.

He’s still alive in both events, so he’s moving back and forth between tables.  Moe is currently 5th on the series leaderboard (points thru 9/1) and 4th on the POY leaderboard, so he’s hoping to pile up some more points on today, the last day of the series and the last day of the POY points race!

Wally Maddah is apparently doing the same thing, according to his latest tweet:
