Sam B\'s second in chips in the $5,000 NL
Sam B, a.k.a. Salim Batshon, is #2 in chips going into the final table of the $5K buyin NLHE event, which should be underway. He is a great player, very well known at Lucky Chances and Artichoke Joes and worthy of a bracelet.
Good luck Sam! Matt

He's the favorite in my book, especially considering his chip position and seat. The man is a devestating player.

However, it's no cakewalk: Thomas Keller $216,500 Chips. Seat 4. - strong online player, won Bellagio $2500 in Dec. Martin Deknijff $177,000 Chips. Seat 10. - winner of Bellagio 25k (2.7M) Eskimo Clark $109,500 Chips. Seat 3. - you've prob heard of him. Already has 2nd and 4th in $2500 and $5k events this year. Dewey Tomko $37,000 Chips. Seat 2. - you know of him, I assume (though very few chips) The others also have quite a few decent recent tourney finishes among them, so this could be a pretty tough lineup. With these players and the prizes increasing slowly up to 3rd, then a big jump to 2nd then 1st, I think this will be a really exciting final table to watch on ESPN.

"On the next hand Sam Batshon had the dominating hand this time. The best hand can't win three times in a row, can they? Not this time. Sam Batshon had A 8. Lee Watkinson called with the J 8 of Clubs. The Jack on the flop was enough. The eight on the turn was overkill. Sam B was 5th."
