You can cheer for the two guys below in Nolan's E-Mail! Or any of the other eight BARGERS at the end of this post. Including a BARGER who won it all in 2000, Chris Ferguson. Andy - Las Vegas

FYI:

It's 1:50 am.

Two BARGERS are near the chip lead with over $200K

FRANK NUTz BRABEC with 227.8
GREG FOSSILMAN RAYMER with 297.3

The chip leader has 335.3 (NYC gin player named ABE MOSSERI)

I like both of the BARGERS chances here to go deep -- lots of insane play at every table, even at this late stage. I saw one player early today call a large all-in move by another player with his last $20K, holding K-8. Of course the K-8 cracked the pocket pair.
