The Fox and the Farmer
 

Chuck Thompson is the chip leader in event #7. I played with him in a single table satellite several years ago. He is a really nice guy and he wrote one of my favorite strategy articles for limit holdem, though it applies to all tournaments.

Re: The Fox and the Farmer
 

I agree about Chuck Thompson...really nice guy. He and I were in a tourney back in March at the Wildhorse in Pendleton, OR. At the time, I didn't know who he was (I asked him about the Bay 101 hat, and he'd said he was the executive host...pretty down to earth -- he could have said he was a pro who was ready to rip my heart out and show it to me while still beating). I've since learned that he's pretty well known in the pro poker community.

I'm pulling for him and Shane today.
