LAS VEGAS–Play has ended for the day, and Josh Evans is alive and well with exactly 400,000 chips — a still comfortably above average stack a slightly above average stack (briefly forgot they started with 20,000 this year), but way behind the chip leaders. (Ten players are already above a million.) He was into the 600s for a while, but gave a healthy chunk to the guy on his left. \”I hate this table,\” he told me. It had on it the aforementioned big stack, Humberto Brenes, Tobey Maguire, and an online phenom/Jackie\’s alum I am learning more about named \”The Waco Kid.\”

Fortunately for Josh, his table was broken as players bagged their chips for the night … so we\’ll see where he starts the day tomorrow — 337 players remain.
