WSOP 2008
In the Waiting Line

Spectators have formed around the 175 players still in the $1,500 No Limit Hold ‘em event. A large percentage of them, however, are those that have busted from the tournament. A long line has formed in the Brasilia Room as players are waiting for their payouts. Players have grown so flustered that a tournament director has announced a 20-minute break at the end of Level 11 (the first break was supposed to come at the conclusion of Level 12).
Taylor “tdomeski” Douglas (pictured right) was saved from having to head to the back of the line when he doubled to increase his stack to 23K. With the blinds at 800/1600, a player in middle position raised to 4500 and Douglas moved in for a little over 11K. Action folded back to the original raiser, who called with T
T
and was unable to improve against the KK
of Douglas. Taylor is well known for his appearance in Nat Arem’s “The Poker Film”, a documentary about a house shared by online poker players Jeff “yellowsub” Williams, Tyler “tbthanx” Bell and Nick “Stoweski” Stowe.
Here is a list of others left in Event #27 that have avoided the dreaded money line:
Court Harrington - 75K
Danny “THE_D_RY” Ryan - 38K
Billy Westom - 31K
Jason Gray - 30K
Jeff “YoungSupremacy” Hakim - 16K
