LAS VEGAS–Josh Evans crossed over … he\’s got about 420k. So did Vandy Krouch, also with about 420k. Both guys are guaranteed more than $20,000 … and have a shot at $8.25 million.
There were some other North Texas players I saw on the official roster for today — but not sure of their stati.
Also not sure about Jerry Randack. He was relatively short stacked going into today, and I didn\’t see him on first perusal of the remaining 60something tables. (Jerry\’s a hard guy to miss.) So it looks grim as to whether or not he survived atmospheric re-entry, but we\’re not ready to write him off as dead, yet.
UPDATE: Jerry is dead. I mean not like Eskimo Clark dead or Lady Bird Johnson deceased (God Bless Texas). But the 2007 Pokerati Invitational runner-up is out, finishing just shy of the money. Nice-ish go, Jerry!
Huck Seed, by the way, is near the chip lead — and I\’m rooting against him. I dropped him from my fantasy team just two weeks ago — for virtually no reason other than to make room for Danny Wong, who I haven\’t even seen at the WSOP. Would hate to see Seed get paid off for my poor fantasy play.
UPDATE: Vandy is out. From one of his friend\’s in Dallas:
vandy got popped in 474, set of 6\’s and the guy hit his set of Q\’s on the turn. That started the popping…anyway very exciting.
Congratulations, Krouch! Way to do North Texas poker proud … and I am sure there are a few folks who are more than happy to see you with an extra $29,883 in your bankroll.
