Featured Table Announcer Robbie Thompson Tournament Director Robbie Thompson handles the bulk of the live announcing duties at ESPN's featured table on Day 5 of the WSOP Main Event. Big Chip Stacks Look Good on TV With 219 million in chips in play, the stacks are growing large on Day 5 of the WSOP Main Event. While the chips could be colored up to lessen their size, the large stacks look much better for ESPN's TV cameras. Amazon Room During Dinner Break The dealers are the only ones inside the ropes during the dinner break on Day 5 of the WSOP Main Event. Scotty Nguyen Doubles Up and Blows a Kiss After checking to the turn on a board of A-7-4-9, Scotty Nguyen is all in with a set of sevens against his opponent's two pair, aces and fours. Nguyen's hand held up, doubling his short stack of chips as he blows a kiss to his fans on the balcony. Scotty Nguyen Signs Autographs During Play Even though he's short-stacked and play continues at the secondary featured table without him, Scotty Nguyen doesn't turn down fan requests for photos and autographs. Even after some controversial behavior on his way to winning the 2008 $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event, Nguyen still has a strong connection with poker fans and is one of the most beloved players. Scotty Nguyen Takes His Own Breaks While the tournament schedule lists a break every two hours, Scotty Nguyen plays at his own pace, and takes breaks whenever he feels ready for a break. Even here, when he has a below-average stack on Day 5 of the WSOP Main Event, Nguyen takes a stroll toward the back exit of the Amazon Room. Interviewing Adam "Roothlus" Levy Adam "Roothlus" Levy is interviewed by Kristy Arnett during one of the breaks on Day 5 of the WSOP Main Event.
