Thomas Gari (Hollywood, FL)

The hand-for-hand stage of Day 2 last all of two hands, with Thomas Gari eliminating A. Nonymous (player asked not to be mentioned) in a blind v. blind confrontation.  After action folded around to A. Nonymous, he'd shove just under 100,000, only needed to get through Gari in the big blind.  Thomas happened to wake up with A♠ K♥, and he'd be in dominating position after making the call:

Gari: A♠ K♥
A. Nonymous: A♦ 4♣

Board: 3♥ 9♠ 8♣ 7♥ 5♣

Once all of the tournament tables were finished with that hand, tournament staff broke one of the "outer" tournament tables, and the cards are once again in the air.  All of the players to cash in this event will be posted (by pay jump), along with updates from the field as we play down to an Event 16 winner.
