Key Players 

Nobody told this Final Table that gambling was legal in Nevada. This was only supposed to be a TWO-day event.

It took four hours to lose the first 2 players. Surinder Sunar got all in with A A K 6 to see Giang with K K 8 4. But a 4 on the flop and an 8 on the river for two small pair took Surinder out. Another 2 hours and they were down to 5.

Phillip Marmorstein ( 1988 World Backgammon Champion ) stormed from 9th place in chips at the final table to just take the chip lead before things started to go wrong. Still he finished third, a commendable performance.
