WSOP Circuit Event Nov 9 08

This is Jon's Dad, Allan, reporting live from Harvey's South Lake Tahoe, where Jon has been playing in a $550 NLHE WSOP Circuit Event. Yesterday, day 1 of this event, Jon played for 13 hours, battling a field of more than 150 players, to emerge chip leader as the money bubble, then the final table bubble approached.

He finished day 1 after 1am last night, and we are about to resume play with just the final 9 for this event.
