Mike Matusow wandered over to the final table. Tournament Director Jack Effel asked the audience to recognize one of his favorite players. Matusow got a mixed reaction from the crowd. Some of the audience cheered while a loud wave of boos slowly drowned out the Matusow fans.

Last 10 Hands: 91-100

On the first hand after the dinner break on Hand #92, Tuan Lam came from behind to double up against Jerry Yang. Despite the double up, Yang still held over 60 million in chips and close to 48% of the total chips in play. Alex Kravchenko won a big pot on Hand #95 but is still the short stack.

After the first 100 hands, Yang won 39 or exactly 39% of the pots at the final table. He is still the chipleader.
