Before my tour, I hooked up with fan favorite and the third place finisher from last year, Mister Nice Guy himself, Dennis Phillips.

Dennis busted out last night in 45^th place.  Good for $178,000.  He stuck around today to watch a little of the final tables and never once tried to hide or escape the fan who wanted an autograph, a picture or just to shake his hand and say hello.

Update: The Ringleader is reliving her whirlwind WSOP trip on her blog The Vegas Toke.
