EVENT #8 - TROPHY OR AWOL?

Allison Weisbrod spent the latter part of Day 1 and now most of Day 2 near the top of the leaderboard if not commanding the outright top stack. She's been making difficult decision throughout most of the event but there is one that would be too tough.

Walking around the tournament floor and made a (half) joking comment to the floor staff wondering if the tournament would be done by 4 or 5am. That caught Allison's attention and she told me "I have to be at work by 4am. In Maryland."

Naturally I asked her how much it would hurt to call in sick.

"I'm in the Navy. I would be AWOL."

Decision made. Hopefully the tournament will move along quickly enough that she won't have to do something unfortunate. She is currently stacked at 1,400,000 in chips.
