Nivel 10 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

"I wanna party with Bill Chen!" announced Tom Schneider proudly.

Schneider then looked to our PokerNews reporter and asked, "Do you want me to party with Bill Chen?"

He then turned back towards the table and continued, "Cause I wanna party with Bill Chen. We're going to be on the dancefloor doing the thing. Whatever that thing is!"

Table 364 is currently having the time of their lives as they are into the third round of beers. David Oppenheim asked the waiter to deliver the rounds every 15 minutes, and so far he is yet to fail.

A few other players around the room are also receiving alcoholic beverages, but there is no chance they are having as much fun as the players on table 364.

Nivel 9 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

A new chip leader has emerged with German Thomas Butzhammer sitting behind a 122,800-chip stack.

Although his poker resume only includes 4 WSOP cashes and just over $500,000 in earnings, we have been assured be a fellow German PokerNews blogger that he is one to watch out for in this event.
