Not sure what to tell you off the bat … they\’re about six hands in … and Darvin Moon has chipped up … he now has 90some million to Joe Cada\’s 101ish million.
The WSOP&T Theater is packed-packed again … with plenty of folks lined up outside waiting to fill any empties.
So far I think I\’ve seen the best ever rail-fan prop — about 10 rows from the stage, in Darvin Moon section of fans, a guy is holding up a toy chainsaw every time something positive for Moon occurs on the felt. Poker Loggers unite! Crap/LOL: domain name long taken/abandoned.
Lots of heckling, too … which gotta say, much to my surprise, Jack \”Link\’s\” Effel is deflecting quite well.
MORE in this spot TK, at least for a while … keep refreshing.
— Everything intensified with such an audience watching. Even \”checks\” get gasps from the crowd … and mucks get \”whoop whoop whoops!\”
— Frat boy chants: \”Let\’s Go CA-DA! Let\’s Go CA-DA!\”
— Darvin now has the chip lead.
UPDATE: New level … and Linda \”Tranwreck\’ is the dealer … bad beats on the way?
NOTE: Blinds at 600k/1.2mm … exceeding the level where the 2008 WSOP main event came to a close.
STATING THE OBVIOUS: Barry Greenstein is a big fan of Linda Tran. @barrygreenstein tweets:
Linda Tran is the current dealer and she is beautiful and Asian. More incentive for me to final table next year.

–The gaming agents (not to be confused with gaming-agents) that Pauly loves to talk about are here … but either they have little business to attend to and are simply supporting their client Joe Cada … or they have learned how to prevent people like me from taking pictures of them looking devious by saying things like, \”hey, how\’s it goin\’?\” (Foiled!)
— Blinds are 600k/1.2mm … and with 195 million total chips in play, that means an average stack has roughly 81 BB
UPDATE CHIP COUNT:
Darvin Moon – 97,650,000
Joe Cada – 97,150,000
