Martin Finger registered late for flight 1E and he stopped to grab some food as he strolled in. Finger also got a timely double up after he flopped a set of queens on a 
board vs the flush draw 
of his opponent. The board ran out the 
and 
and Finger was able to avoid a spade.
Finger stacked his chips and continued eating his lunch, while another player on the table said to him, "You know how to do it! Just register late for the tournament and then double up. I've been doing it all wrong sitting here since 10:00 a.m."

Mike Leah had built his stack up to 53,000 but then, unfortunately, lost a race that caused a setback. His opponent raised to 2,000 from under the gun and Leah three-bet to 6,000. The action was folded back around to his opponent who moved all in for around 23,000. Leah quickly called and the hands were tabled.
