Around 1.5 hrs ago, Padilla called Byron. Padilla had KT and hit a flop of TT7. Big bets on the flop and river then finally he went all-in on the river with no caller. That helped him run his stack up to $149,000. I heard the chip leaders are just north of $300k, the field is down to 1,000 and the blinds are at $500-$1,000 and antes of $200. With rounds costing $3,500, he can afford to see 420 hands, so he is sitting pretty. They will play down to a number really close to the bubble, but probably shy of it. So a small number of guys that survive today won't cash out tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Byron is up a couple hundred in a ring game at Harrah's and I lost my lunch money on Party Poker.
