Phill,

Table draw is Pavilion 131. You should be about the 40th table to collapse out of the 280 tables going in. That should be likely the second level, probably late in it. They should collapse Pavilion High to Low. That would be consistent with the past.

Thanks for the research Royze - that's super helpful - seems an ok draw with the two best players to my right. I am familiar with Cr8tive from P5

Chris beat me to the punch - I was going to ask about breaking - so thanks a lot for the info - I'll keep an eye out in the room to see which way they break.

I really hate moving tables in the middle of the day and being several hours behind everyone in working out table images - but I guess I will be unknown too - I suppose my second table draw is much more important than this one...

[chrisjp]

It sucks to move tables. They don't know you, but it is much more important for you to know them. I play very carefully the first hour at a new table. You may get an incorrect read on a player because he takes a loose or tight line against some player that is in fact sound--or maybe actually crazy, but you don't know it yet.

He moved to Vegas a while back and does nothing but play poker these days. Young, online player. Looks solid to me, although he plays a lot of PLO.

Ok Phill here's your Day 3 table, no big names but it seems to be stronger than the Day 1 and Day 2B starting tables.

Seat 1

Anders Taylor
100,600
Las Vegas

http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=115780
Five cashes at the series already, all in $1500 and under bi's, including 5th in Jelinek's bracelet win. Here's a quirky video of him on QuadJacks:

Seems like a strong young player.

Seat 2

Tristan Wade
151,100
Orlando

http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=84586
Three cashes at the series so far, cashed for $50k in the '07 ME.
He has a blog on P5s (http://tristancre8ive.blogspot.com/sear ... results=37)
and offers coaching.
http://www.pocketfives.com/profiles/cre8ive/
That's his PocketFives page. Serious serious player.

Seat 3

Phill Huxley in the lucky seat number 3 again!

Seat 4
Alex Santiago
11,600
West Harford, Conneticut

http://www.pokerpages.com/player-profil ... ntiago.htm
Shortstacked, won a WPT side event for over 100k in '09. Won a SCOOP high event this year. P5s: http://www.pocketfives.com/profiles/ags104/

Seat 5
Leann Kuhr
Westerfield, Ohio
35,700

Wild card - can't find anything out about her which is a good thing.

Seat 6
Menan Saydam
Arlington. West Virginia
117,100

Won $50k in a WSOP Circuit side event. Plays in a home game with Lee Childs, 7th place in '07. Can't find out much more. He's young too.

Seat 7
Konstantin Golubev
St Petersburg
10,000

Ten big blinds for the Russian. Here's his personal photo page! http://www.photodom.com/photographer/golubev
Can't find anything else.

Seat 9
Laurentius Sloot
Harderwijk, Netherlands
112, 700

Can't find anything. If Holland lose, try and find a Spain shirt to tilt him with.

This table is a different beast from what we've seen before, but you're the chip leader and have position on the best two players with chips.

TAKE THiS THING DOWN!

AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGAAAA.
