Event 4: Finally!
$500 +$60 No Limit Hold'em
While I was making that last post, a player on table four busted out and departed.
That left 36 happy players knowing that they're in the money and hand-for-hand play is now over.
The first order of business, however, was to take a break. They'll get ten minutes away from the green felt, then return to resume playing for the top prize of nearly $40k.
