  If Day 1d of the World Series of Poker Main Event was like the movie Fight Club, then Day 2a bore a bit of a resemblance to the classic television series, The Twilight Zone. Though nobody traveled back in time, had meaningful conversations with supernatural beings, or was granted super-powers by two headed freaks from Venus there were some moments when it would have been appropriate for Rod Serling to pop out from behind a bush and start in with his "For your consideration..." monologue that describes how somebody is entering the Twilight Zone.



  The day started with Montel Williams wondering where 5000 of his chips had wandered off to. The number of chips that were in his bag simply didn't match the number that was written on the bag. After some quick detective work that involved reviews of the security camera records and the suggestion by one of the lonelier security personnel that Erica Schoenberg should be strip searched, they eventually figured out that the wrong amount was written on the bag.



  This was bad news for Montel who could have used the extra 5000 chips. He lasted about as long in the tournament today as a Little Debbie snack cake would in any green room occupied by Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell.



  Tuan Lam was involved in a hand with one of the many nameless players who qualify as WSOP flotsam. Apparently while the two were heads up, and both players had their cards face up, the unnamed player was not seeing what everyone else was looking at. Tuan Lam flopped a Nut hand: an Ace to 10 straight. His opponent had matched his King with the one on the board and was standing up chanting for only low cards to show up on the turn and river. Apparently in the little, twilight zone world this player inhabits, a pair of kings beats a straight. The player had to be informed that he had lost to the superior hand and skulked away from the table deeply embarrassed.



  As the day spun down, Hollywood celebrities were quickly becoming road kill on the way to the final table. At this point Tobey Maguire has managed to survive with the help of the "spidey sense" he presumably brought with him from the Spiderman films. He managed to deftly sidestep bad beats and traps set by more experienced players. He is currently sitting in the middle of the pack, but that beats the heck out of being relegated to the spectators area.



  Day 1d was definitely like Fight Club; Day 2a was the Twilight Zone; what will the next day bring? Who knows? The one thing we can be sure of is that considering the fact that Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh was eliminated on the first day of the Main Event, we probably won't have a day that looks like the movie "Showgirls".
