We've been trying to catch Mary Jones in a hand for most of the day. To be honest, it hasn't been easy. Either she has craftily been playing hands only when we're not watching her table, or her play has been snug. No matter, we finally caught her all-in pre-flop with 
against Alex Santiago's 
. It looked like Jones open-shoved the cutoff for 272,000 and got caught. Things were grim after a 
flop, but Jones then caught running fives, 
and 
, to double up to about 550,000.

The short stacks are getting it in and not getting there -- as was eventually bound to happen. This time Luke Brown was on the wrong end of a flip against Brian England. Brown's pocket 6s couldn't fade England's 
when England made a king-high straight to Brown's ten-high straight, 
. Brown's 21st place finish will earn him $6,535, while England is now rocking more than a million in chips.

Harold Wasson raised and Adam Hui reraised. David Williams reraised with a cold four-bet and Wasson folded. Hui moved all in and Williams made the call. Williams turned over the 
, but ran into the 
for Hui -- what timing. The board ran out 
and that was the end of the line for Williams while Hui climbed to about one million in chips.
Williams has plenty of accolades to his name including a second-place finish to Greg Raymer in the 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event, a WSOP gold bracelet and a World Poker Tour Championship title. He'll add this cash for $5,557 to his record and move on to the next one.

When it's not your night, it's not your night. Clint Powell did everything right, getting his short stack of 200,000 in pre-flop with 
against Brian England's 
. Despite drawing razor thin, England flopped he nuts, . It was all over after the turn left Powell drawing dead.
Luther Lewis was all in for 84,000 from early position and John Kulish called from the small blind. Lewis held the 
to Kulish's . The board ran out 
and Lewis doubled up.
"This whole thing was a freeroll for me," said Jim Fike. He had been short-stacked a long, long time, and it finally caught up with him. He open-shoved his small blind with 
and walked right into Benny Chen's 
. An unimproved ace was enough to take the pot on a three-jack board, 
. Fike is eliminated in 24th place and walks away with $5,557.
