The unidentified player at table 30, seat 5, has now been identified as Ryan Wood of Crownsville, MD. He lost a small pot while I was watching when his pocket 7s were out-flopped by KQ. He's still over 400k, however.

Jeff Krosche has extended his chip lead to 519k and become the first player to cross the half-million chip mark.
After action folded to him in the small blind, Mike Dentale looked to his left and said "Think you can fold one time?" as he tossed his last 27k into the pot. The big blind did let it go and Mike picked up some desperately needed chips, showing JT offsuit.
29 tables remain with 20 players still in the hunt. Average is ~137k.
