Checking out Pauly’s chip counts at the end of the “second” round, a few things leap out at me….

• “Fossilman” in the top ten. How phenomenal would it be if he makes it to the final table this year? They were (rightfully) touting Harrington’s back-to-back final tables the previous two years as one of the great accomplishments in WSOP history. With the exponential growth of the fields, Raymer’s accomplishment to be in the top 10% this year already is pretty comparable

• Check out numbers 40, 52, and 65 on the list. Wouldn’t it be cool to have a Wang, a Butt, and a Bush at the final table? “Wang raised Bush with a big pair in his pocket. Butt had Big Slick in the hole. Oh, the possibilities are endless….

• #208- Dutch Boyd

• Here’s my prediction for the final table… some Asian guy will be there.

• #331 – some guy named… Hammers. Pauly needs to interview him.
