Patrick Rhamey, still feeling the effects of the hand with Hank Czarnecki triple up, moved all in from the button. The small blind folded and Adam Aronson called from the big blind. With the other 32 other players trying to watch the hand, the cards were turned up.
Aronson:
Rhamey:
The board ran and Rhamey was eliminated when Aronson's tens held. Since we're playing round-for-round Rhamey had to sit at the table until they were finished.

Under the gun, Adam Aronson opened with a raise to 11,500. Two seats over, Hank Czarnecki made the call, and the table folded around to the small blind. There, a third player reraised to what looked like about 35,000 or so. Either way, Player Aronshon shoved all in, Czarnecki called all in, and the small blind overcalled both shoves to put them both at risk!
Showdown
Aronson:
Czarnecki:
Small blind:
Wow!
The flop only grew Czarnecki's lead, and the small blind was drawing dead to runner-runner. Aronson had two outs. The turn and river missed them both, though, and it's Czarnecki notching the huge triple up. It vaults him all the way up to about 270,000, and it's robbed the small blind of almost all his chips.
Aronson is still rather short, too, but he's won the side pot to give himself a few hands of play.

An early position player opened for 15,000, the player in the cutoff called and Manuel Lozano called from the big blind. The flop came , Lozano checked, the opener checked and the cutoff moved all in.
Lozano paused for a moment and then re-shoved to isolate the cutoff. The original raiser folded and the hands were turned up.
Lozano:
Cutoff:
The board finished and Lozano chipped up to 235,000.
We're down to 35 players, and for the first time in the tournament, things are getting tense. The bubble looms.
Oh, well there we go. As we type, a player has just been eliminated, and we're now at 34 players. With 33 spots paying, we're on the direct money bubble, and play has been paused for round-for-round.
Patrick Rhamey opened for 12,000 and Robert Castoire called on the button. The blinds released and the flop rolled out .
Rhamey bet 14,00 and Castoire called. The turn came and Rhamey bet 17,000. Castoire took a few moments and raised to 40,000. Rhamey never took his cold stare off Castoire and called.
The turn came and both players checked. Catoire turned over and Rhamey bested him holdling .

A quick look at Day 2 as we're seeing it.
It was blind vs. blind violence when Rip Fritzer moved all in from the small blind with no action in front of him. Casey McCarrel looked down to find pocket fives and he called.
Fritzer tabled and hit the flop when the board ran . His rivered two pair brought him to within shouting distance of the 100,000 mark.

We just saw Dan Black getting some condolences on the rail, and the seat where he was sitting a moment ago is now vacant of chips.
We missed the hand that did him in, but it's safe to say the last member of the 2010 final table has been eliminated.
