Local guy still alive in WSOP

Proof positive that anything can happen in the World Series of Poker, being contestest as we speak in Las Vegas.
A local guy, Tim Loecke of Highland Park, has outlasted more than 6,000 other players in the main event and is in the final 27 (3 tables left) in the marathon event. This is the FIRST live event he's ever played in, as he's been an on-line player.
Anyone can enter the WSOP main event for $10,000, but Loecke got in by winning an on-line qualifying tournament that cost him $63 to enter.
If he's the next guy to bust out, he would win $257,334. Right now, Loecke is short-stacked, but he's been that way for the last day and has survived.
Locke is a sales manager for Staples. His dream is to make it to the final table (final 9 players).
