We live in an era where high profile NFL players have gotten the attention of police for trips to the strip club that end in gunshots as well as the occasional dog fighting quarterback. A rape allegation in the NBA has almost become as commonplace as holding out for more money after a contract has been signed. Major League Baseball is not without its warts either. Just about every big name home runner hitter has a little friend in a syringe that is helping them perform better on the field. Just a hint: it isn't Gatorade they are shooting into their bodies.
Sportsmanship is so rare to see today that what happened between Ernest Bennett and Tony Korfman was the sort of example of gentlemanly behavior that is almost touching.
Event 41 didn't end with heads-up battle between Bennett and Korfman, but rather a discussion. After talking it over, there was a handshake and Bennett was declared the winner. For whatever reason they chose not to go on, and we may be making more of this than there actually is here, but it was nice to see two professionals behaving like adults and showing respect to each other.
Event 42 is currently coming down to the wire. At this point in time there are only four people left to play for the bracelet. Of the survivors, James Tolley is the new chip leader. He had just taken a little less than half of David Bach's chips and is preparing to start bullying the table.
Bringing up the rear is Gene Timberlake who isn't having as much luck with the cards as the better known Timberlake has with actresses and Pop Princesses. This tournament will probably run a few more hours before a champion is crowned.
