Event 9 (Flight D): The "Fashionably Late" Crowd

Event 9 ($350 No Limit Hold'em $300,000 Guarantee)
Level 5 (Blinds 150/300/25)
Total Flight D Entries: 48

Players are currently on their first (15) minute break of the day, and will be returning to Level 5 and new blinds of 150/300/25.  If you've followed the WSOP over the course of the year, you'd remember the discussion about the 11:00am versus 12:00pm start time.  Florida is definitely not Las Vegas during the WSOP, so the 11:00am start gets a crowd, but we still spotted many familiar faces taking their seats just before break.

Daniel Cruz (Boca Raton, FL) is back at the tables for the first time since chopping Event 5, and earning himself a lifetime best cash ($14,340).  He's like hoping things aren't as stressful this time around though, needing to come from behind in two huge spots to reach the point he did.  Some other late arrivals to the field include:

Ellen Lambeth
Yves Fequiere
Frederick Allenspach
Paul Efron
Elliot Zydman
Giovanni Cantatore
Paula Alibrandi
Trenton Baker
