Event 5: Purple Pride

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

Table 1 has been action crazy all day long. They are playing the purple $500 bounty game like no one else.

Players claim there is an all-in every two or three hands.

The latest gave Tom Formichella (Brooklyn, NY) a much needed double up when his KK held up against 6-4 off on a board of Q-9-9-5-10.

After a celebration scoop, Tom shows his purple chip that was just at risk and says, "was this what you were looking for? We'll he's coming back this way". Inch by inch Formichella flips his chip back until it's safely in front.

57 players remain on seven tables. Average stack is 77,288.

Top 36 get the cake. Playing until 18 players or 2am.
