Jinhing 'Smiley' Chin (New York, NY) just got all-in and doubled up -- to about 18k. "My goal is to make it to dinner break, get the voucher" he says. Smiley's talking about the $10 dinner tickets that are passed out to players remaining in the tournament shortly before the dinner break.

As I'm passing by table 20 and checking out Josh Brikis' stack, Khiem Nguyen asks "Is he famous or something?".
Well, if you watch ESPN's coverage of the 2010 WSOP Main Event, you get to see lots of Josh Brikis at the feature table as he made his deep run (finished 55th for over $138k).
If you play at Borgata, Josh won the $1,500 No Limit event here during the September 2010 Borgata Poker Open ($119k). I guess it depends on your definition of 'famous'.
