John O'Shea made the opening raise before calling Michel Abecassis' push from the big blind. On their backs, gentlemen.
Abecassis: 
O'Shea: 
Board: 
The hands were very similar, but Abecassis had O'Shea ever so slightly pipped and he doubled to 110,000.
Claire Renaut was down around 40,000 chips when she open-shoved from late position. A player in the blinds squeezed out 
and made the call, and Renaut stood up to sweat her fate. She said, "I only saw this one," and dropped the down on the board. He other card was the 
, and she let out a "Damn," at her rather meager holdings. Still, she was drawing live for the double up.
The dealer would not comply, though, running out a board of 
. She's gone with a small cash, and it appears that Vanessa Peng is now the last lady standing.
Greg Raymer had already suffered a bit of unpleasantness, doubling up [Removed:413]. We're not sure exactly when the chips went in, but we suspect it was preflop.
Raymer: 
Pautrot:
Board: 
Pautrot doubled to 320,000 and Raymer was left with 130,000, which went in a few hands later. not a good hand for Raymer today:
Raymer:
Kamal Choraria: 
Board: 
With Raymer's demise, Joe Hachem is the only WSOP Main Event winner left in the field.
Leo Fernandez has just been knocked out by fellow PokerStars Team Pro Thomas Bichon. 
for the Argentinian, 
for the Frenchman and a board that got better and better for the latter coming 
.
The exits are still coming quickly and show no sign of slowing down.
Tom Marchese (button) was fighting for his tournament life against Chino Rheem (big blind) when we arrived.
Marchese:
Rheem: 
Board: 
(bink!) (re-bink!) 
Marchese doubled to 250,000; Rheem was left with 200,000.
Gabriel Alarie raised from the cutoff, and then shoved for roughly 140,000 to a reraise from Alex Kravchenko on the button. Kravchenko tanked up for a bit, but eventually made the call and they turned the cards over.
Alarie: 
Kravchenko:
Board:
Alarie's double up left Kravchenko with 240,000, a little below average.
We only caught the tail end of a pot a few minutes ago, but it gives some context to what just happened. In that previous pot, John Juanda and Benny Spindler were heads up on a board of 
, and Spindler bet 42,500 on the river. Juanda made a sick call with 
, and Spindler showed his airball 
to lighten his stack a little bit.
A few hands later...
In early position, Spindler opened with a mini raise to 12,000, and action came all the way around to the blinds. Juanda was in the small, and he three-bet it to 67,000 total. Spindler then made it what looked like 112,000, the minimum reraise. Juanda tanked and raised to 192,000 total, pot-committing himself. Spindler might have been committed too; he shrugged and moved all in, and Juanda quickly called all in for his full stack of 283,000.
Showdown
Spindler:
Juanda:
Juanda looked at his watch and smirked at his opponent. "Whoever loses still has time to buy into the High Roller," he quipped.
The dealer made Juanda sweat a little but, but his cowboys ultimately held as the board ran out 
. That marks a big double up for Juanda, and his table can't be too happy about that. He's up around 600,000 now, while Spindler is left with just 94,000 after starting the day in the top ten.
Matt Perrins opened to 14,000 from the cut-off and the big-stacked Steven Levy flat-called in the small blind before Allen Bari reraised to 51,500 in the big blind.
Perrins recounted his stack before moving all-in for 267,500 total and Levy quickly folded. Bari got a count, but disastified with the answer made the fold to the young Englishman.
We have seen this time and time again - no-one ever believes Phil Ivey. There's something about him that just makes people think he's at it - whatever it is, he is a true master of getting paid off.
We caught the hand from the turn, the board reading 
and around 100,000 in the pot. It looked as though Kayvan Payman (utg) had checked. Phil Ivey (cutoff) had bet 50,000. Eventually Payman called.
The river was the and Payman definitely checked this time; over to Ivey, who bet 100,000, with just 70,000 behind. There began an epic spell in the tank for Payman. After five minutes or so, he more stated than asked, "No way you show if I fold, eh?" This elicited absolutely zero response from Ivey.
Another minute or so, and Payman called - only for Ivey to show him 
for quads. Payman mucked and dropped to 65,000. Ivey is up to 460,000.
