A few nights ago I mentioned that it was a good night to be a friend of Paul Wasicka’s. Unfortunately, Paul’s run at another final table was ended prematurely today. Paul was never quite able to get off the ground as he entered play with under 25k. Sharing Paul’s fate was Doug Kim who was busted about halfway through the day.
However, it has been a good day for the rest of Paul’s friends.
Even though he was over 100k at one point, Thomas “gnightmoon” Fuller (a PokerWire blogger) has slipped back down to about 50k. Thomas hit a couple of lucky hands today when he made uncharacteristically big moves with A9 and was fortunate enough to crack KK. Twice.
Thomas and Paul’s hometown friend Mandy Baker has been on a heater for the last few levels. Mandy is known around the PokerWire circles as the Full Tilt Poker “satellite queen” because she wins seats online pretty much at will. You can regularly find her online crushing young internet boys’ dreams at $5-$10 No-limit. Tonight you can find her seated directly to Tobey Maguire’s right. Yep, that Tobey Maguire.
Chris “pi master” Viox entered the day in the top 10 and has hung around the top of the leaderboard throughout play. Chris has been an online pro for a number of years, and made a final table in last year’s pot-limit holdem event (although he's from St. Louis, not Colorado).
