On table twenty-eight, both Simon Watt and JP Kelly have recently been eliminated.
Steve Yea and Julius Colman both are still alive, but it is John Eames that is currently leading with 35,000 in chips.
Ben Delaney has just soared into great position to progress through to the next stage after eliminating three opponents - two of which were in the same hand.
In the first hand, one player pushed his last 8,000 holding only to have Vladimir Geshkenbein commit his last 7,000 with .
Delaney made the call holding , and when an ace spiked on the turn, he sent two players to the rail while climbing to 51,000.
Just a few hands later, Delaney would open his button to 1,500 only to have Darren Kramer make it 4,400 from the big blind. Delaney pushed, Kramer called for roughly his last 23,000 and we were off to the races.

The board ran out to end Kramer's tournament while sending Delaney soaring up to 73,000.
Brendon Rubie opened with a raise preflop before Chris Yea three-bet from the big blind.
Rubie made the call, and when the flop brought about a continuation-bet from Yea, Rubie bumped it up with a two-bet.
Yea moved all in and Rubie made the call for his tournament life.

Yea:
With Rubie's two-pair trailing, the turn and river blanked out to see him hit the rail as Yea - the brother of Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Steve - moves to 63,000 in chips.
Charlie Combes is the first player to progress through to the second round.
Amassing a 91,525-chip stack, Combes defeated the likes of Michael Greco, Martin Comer, Raj Ramakrishnan and Dominik Nitsche to progress.
Chess prodigy Jeffrey Sarwer is the next player to find himself heading to the rail.
After losing a race holding against , a now short-stacked Sarwer committed what remained of his stack with against the very opponent who crippled him and his .
Sarwer would again fall short and be bounced to the rail - unable to add to his one Aussie Millions cash from the Event 1: $1,100 Opening Event (60th place for AUD$3,570).
