Todd "Dan Druff" Witteles Eliminated in 10th Place ($23,811)

Barry Cales raised to 25,000 from the small blind, Todd Witteles moved all in from the big blind, and Cales called. Witteles tabled Q-Q while Cales held the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}. The flop was {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Witteles kept his lead. The turn was the {10-Spades} and Cales would need an ace or a king to eliminate him. The crowd let out a huge gasp when the river brought the {A-Spades}, sending Witteles to the rail as the TV final table bubble boy.

Back in Action

Cards are back in the air.

Players Take a 15-Minute Break

After one more elimination, play will conclude for the night.

Marcello Del Grosso Eliminated in 11th Place ($23,811)

Marcello Del Grosso moved all in from the button with A-7 and Tommy Vu called in the small blind with A-A. There was no miracle for Del Grosso on the {J-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} board, and he was eliminated.

Todd Witteles Doubles Through Michael Chu

Michael Chu raised from the button, Todd "Dan Druff" Witteles moved all in from the small blind and Chu called. Chu showed the {A-Spades}{5-Hearts} while Witteles flipped up the {K-Spades}{4-Hearts}. The {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop gave Witteles trips, Chu's hand did not improve on the {2-Clubs} turn or the {7-Diamonds} river, and Witteles doubled up.

After the hand, Witteles was up to 190,000 and Chu was down to 470,000.

Action Slows

TV Table
TV Table
The pace of play has slowed considerably as we approach the televised final table bubble. An ESPN crew has swarmed both of our remaining tables, hoping for some good sound bites and "b-roll" (secondary footage). Though there is a substantial ($10,000+) pay jump from 10th place to 11th place, what weighs even more on the minds of some of these players is the chance to play on TV and the opportunites such exposure may afford.
