Event 5: Luck of the Draw

$500 + $60 + $500 NLH Purple Chip Bounty

Blinds are up to 500/1,000 with 100 antes for level 10.  99 players remain.

When tables break down, players are randomly assigned to the open seats in the room.  That random draw has resulted in two WSOP bracelet holders sharing the felt on table 7.

Arkadiy Tsinis & Jeffrey Papola

Jeffrey Papola (New York, NY) won his bracelet in a $5k NL 6-Max event during the 2010 WSOP.  He has occupied the 8 seat all day.

Arkadiy Tsinis (Las Vegas, NV) was moved into the 3 seat when his last table broke.  Arkadiy won his bracelet in a $1k NL event this summer.

Arkadiy has been on a roll this week, having cashed twice already in events 1 and 3.  Today has not been so good to him, as he's already on his third entry.
