Late in the day yesterday, Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri was short-stacked, down to just 17,000. He stood up and announced to his table, "If you guys don't get me in the next forty minutes, I'm gonna win the whole thing."
They didn't get him, and now he's playing for a bracelet. He's made himself quite comfortable at the final table by removing his shoes and propping one socked foot up on the chair between himself and Mike Rocco.
