Event 2 - Final Table Time!
1 year ago
We've been on break for some time, over two hours, and are only now getting back down to business. Even though we're still at ten the decision has been made to put everyone on the ESPN TV table and get the cameras rolling.
There's been some debate over the legitimacy of this move since it certainly changes things for the remaining players. Theo Tran is reportedly unhappy as there will be no TV-table bubble for him to take advantage of.
It could also be construed as unfair to tenth place finishers in other events who won't get the opportunity to appear on television.
Regardless, the cards are in the air and we're ready to start the playdown to the second bracelet winner of 2008. Here's a look at the current chip counts, courtesy of www.worldseriesofpoker.com.

| Aaron Coulthard | $1,510,000 |

Event 2 - Soup's On!
1 year ago
We've reached the final ten in this event, meaning only one more player will be denied the honor of appearing on the official WSOP final table. Level 22 has just come to an end and a two-hour dinner break has been declared.
We're already behind in this event, having started with 18 today rather than the scheduled final table, which makes us wonder why the dinner break has been extended to two hours. Play will resume at 7 p.m.

Jesus Resurrected!
Chris Ferguson is currently running strong in this event after fighting his way back from near destruction. He's back in the thick of things now with over a million in chips after a huge double-up at the expense of Aaron Coulthard.
Theo Tran got things started with an opening raise. Ferguson responded by moving all-in for just over half a million. Action folded to Coulthard who re-shipped all-in for a whopping $1.5 million. Tran gave it some thought before releasing and it was time for a showdown with Ferguson's tournament life on the line.
