Remaining Players:  108/296

The PLO final table has been stuck at nine players for a while now, so we took a look around Flight B. Some familiar faces in the field include James Calderaro, AJ Kelsall, Aaron Thivyanathan, and TK Miles. Kelsall just scored a small double up to 56,000 when his pocket eights held against the of Brent Hoover.

A few hands before that Hoover took out his opponent who held under the gun with pocket fours in the hole on a board reading . Hoover was at 181,000 after that hand, but he gave some of that back when Kelsall doubled through him a short time later.
