 At 
                                        10:53 p.m. last night Chip Jett and his 
                                        wife Katrina became the proud parents 
                                        of a 6lb 13 oz baby girl named Athena 
                                        Grace. Both mother and baby are doing 
                                        fine and Chip would like to thank everyone 
                                        for their kindness. As 
                                        for my comment in yesterdays results, 
                                        I suggested Chip open a savings account 
                                        for the new baby with the $1,000 refund 
                                        he received, he responded with, I 
                                        look at it like she owes me $50,000.  Congratulations, 
                                        Chip and Katrina!Now for the results of the $1,000 Limit 
                                        Holdem Event.
 The 
                                        final table began at 11:10 p.m. with 50 
                                        minutes remaining on the clock. The limit 
                                        was $600-$1,200 with $300-$600 blinds. Of 
                                        the remaining 10, nine would make the 
                                        money and the 10th place finisher will 
                                        be eligible for the Bubble Tournament 
                                        at noon on Sunday, October 5. At 
                                        the start of the final table Barry Shulman 
                                        held a commanding lead with $42,400, Warren 
                                        Karp was holding down second place with 
                                        $19,900, Greg Wynn was in third with $19,000 
                                        and the rest of the field combined had 
                                        only $45,000. At 
                                        11:40 Gary Cordeiro was the first player 
                                        to exit the final table. Gary went up 
                                        against chip leader Barry Shulman with 
                                        J-Q only to run into pocket eights. The 
                                        board was no help to Gary and he had to 
                                        settle for a 10th place finish but at 
                                        least he gets to play in the Bubble event 
                                        on Sunday. Paul 
                                        Sherr was the next casualty at 11:55 p.m. 
                                        Paul Chakbazof raised, Paul Sherr reraised, 
                                        Paul C. reraised and Paul S. called. The 
                                        flop came Q-8-6, Paul C. started the betting 
                                        and it was capped. The turn card came 
                                        a 10 and Paul S. got all his money in 
                                        with pocket eights only to find out Paul 
                                        flopped a set of queens. The old set over 
                                        set sent Paul S. home in ninth place. At 
                                        12:05 the limit increased to $800-$1,600 
                                        with $400-$800 blinds. At 
                                        12:10 Paul Dahl was eliminated by David 
                                        Kutcher. Paul D. had A-K and David had 
                                        pocket 10s. The money.  At 
                                        12:15 Doug Saab got all his money in with 
                                        A-7 against Warren Karps A-9. The 
                                        flop was kind to Doug when it came a seven 
                                        but as luck would have it Warren rivered 
                                        a nine for the win. Doug had to settle 
                                        for seventh place. The 
                                        last of the three Pauls who made the final 
                                        table took a powder at 12:30 a.m. Warren 
                                        raised, Paul C. reraised, Warren raised 
                                        again and Paul C. called all-in. Paul 
                                        showed A-K and Warren turned over pocket 
                                        eights. The board came 2-J-J-3-3 and Paul 
                                        C. was sent home in sixth place. At 
                                        1:15 the limit increased to $1,000-$2,000 
                                        with $500-$1,000 blinds. After 
                                        a short break the remaining five players 
                                        agreed on a deal that made everyone happy.

                                        Greg Wynn was determined the second place
