Total Event #21 Entries: 404
Event #21 Players Remaining: 104

Michael Newman (Nanuet, NY) ran pocket kings into aces last night, and while it was a rough way to depart, he's back in action this afternoon.

The Day 2 buy-in was an option for any player that wanted to take it, with (12) players deciding that is was worth a shot.  Two of those players just got their starting stacks all-in pre, with Michael Newman's 9♠ 9♣ besting the 4♥ 4♦ of Sean Perry (on a runout of A♥ 8♦ 3♥ 3♦ K♠).  Newman now has close to half the current chip average (120,000), but a much more manageable stack of over (25) big blinds.
