Correction
At the dinner break, our chip leader was Chris Savage. The assumption was that this was "brsavage", a well-known player in the online realm. When we returned from dinner, however, none of our reporters could locate "brsavage" in the field of players. Because of his disappearing act, we were unable to provide updated chip counts for Chris Savage through the last four levels of play.
We have now learned that "brsavage" is sitting comfortably at home with his family in Baton Rouge, which would explain our inability to pick him out of the crowd here in the Amazon Room. Our long-lost player, also named Chris Savage, is still alive in Event #2, and begins the day near the top with 74,000 chips.
We apologize to Chris Savage for the error and thank "brsavage" for helping to clear this up.
Harrah's is implementing new Player ID cards on a trial basis this year, and this sort of mix-up only helps the argument for using them across the board.
