Timothy Finne is shining in Event 47

"Yul Brynner!"

Event 27: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. winner Ylon Schwartz is here with a friend, railing in support of Timothy Finne. Just now the two of them began calling out names of various bald actors, as if to suggest their resemblances with Finne.

"Telly Savalas!" The late Kojak star actually played at the WSOP frequently during the 1970s and '80s, even final-tabling a seven-card stud event once.

"Telly Savalas is better than Yul Brynner," said a smiling Finne in response before turning his attention back to the game. Meanwhile, Schwartz and his friend continued their game.

"Ving Rhames!" "Patrick Stewart!" "Ben Kingsley...!"

"Louis Gosset, Jr., baby!"
