2 NO-SHOWS

There are two no-shows, one each in Events #13 and #14. One player has a good excuse, the other is MIA.

In the Stud Tournament (#14), dealers are blinding off the stack of Dr. Will Noyes, who's at the final table of the HOSE (Event #11) tournament which began Tuesday. Tournament rules don't allow him to play in both events simultaneously, so while's he's still alive for the top prize of $21,350 in HOSE, his stud stack is bleeding away.

"I asked them if my break time (from the HOSE) is free time and they said, 'yes,' unfortunately they won't let me go back and forth.

In the 1k (#13) Daniel Illingworth (San Diego, CA) never showed up and has been blinded off for the last 8 hours. Eric Siegel, of the PPI gang, sums it up best, "The guy's impossible to read."

Another player adds, "very consistent," with a third chiming in, "doesn't bluff much."

Illingworth's 12k starting stack makes it all the way to dinner, and his food voucher is up for grabs on the last hand before break. Joe Dittmar (Long Island, NY) wins the final hand and gets the bonus.

"This is definitely my best hand of the day," he says after surviving a 17k all-in. "The voucher is number one, the pot is a close second."

The final tallies: Illingworth has 775 left which will be all-in as the big blind on the first hand back. Dr. Will's sitting on 2,400 in the Stud and a whole lot more in the HOSE as 1 of the 4 finalists

Both Events #13 and #14 are on a one hour dinner break.

Winner, Winner -Double Dinner!
