We found Andy Spears at the registration line and he told us he was re-entering the event after running into a set. Spears is one of our Players to Watch in this series after winning two major tournaments at the venue in the past year.
Alex Barker has also lost his initial 25,000 stack. All of his chips went to Tom Kroll, who is now wielding a stack of more than 50,000. We'll let you know if Barker elects to re-enter before the end of Level 4.
