Nguyen Nails Another Knockout
Former November Niner Soi Nguyen was one of the late registrants in this tournament, and he benefited greatly from the starting table he drew. Nguyen built up a stack to 50,000 before getting moved, but he hasn't slowed down since, as he just collected another bounty to get up to 75,000.
We caught up with the three way action on a flop that read 
. David Miscikowski led out for 2,000, and the next player to act moved all in for 15,000. Nguyen was on the button, and he thought for about 20 seconds before moving all in, having both players covered. Miscikowski got out of the way, and the cards were tabled.

Opponent: 
Nguyen would need to dodge a club to win the hand, and the board completed with red cards: 
on the turn, and 
on the river. Nguyen locked up the knockout, and is one of our chip leaders as we approach dinner.

Daniels Gets Some Back
Shawn Daniels was as high as 64,000 at the break, but things weren't going his way after. He had fallen down to around 40,000, but he just won a nice pot to get back to almost 60,000.
The flop read 
, and Daniels was heads up in position. His opponent led out for 1,725, and Daniels came along. The turn was the

, and Daniels was faced with one more bet: 3,225. Daniels wasn't going anywhere, and when the cards were tabled, Daniels'

Steve McQueen = Chip Leader
Steve McQueen, no relation to the famous deceased actor with the same name, has risen above everyone else, and is our massive chip leader as we head to level 9. We hardly see any stacks that are even close to 100,000, yet McQueen has managed to pull in 130,000 in just eight levels. We will be sure to keep an eye on this big stack.

Easy Come Easy Go for Weber
Matt Weber was running his table before we went on break, but nothing has gone his way since. We just saw him lose a massive pot to LA pro Phong "Turbo" Nguyen that has him down to just 11,000.
We caught the action on the flop, which was 
. There was already about 7,000 in the middle, and Weber checked to Nguyen, who quickly fired 3,000. Weber quickly called, and the turn was the . Again, the action was quick, as Weber check called a 6,000 bet from Nguyen.
The river brought the 
, and for the third time, Weber quickly checked. Nguyen paused this time, before grabbing a pink T5,000 chip, and throwing it in. Weber called, and Nguyen rolled over 
for a rivered straight. Weber let out a frustrated sigh before throwing his cards towards the dealer, and Nguyen collected the pot to jump up to 50,000.

No History For Masek
Alex Masek had high hopes for this main event. He cashed here last season, and he won his record tying 5th WSOP Circuit Ring here in Event #1. Masek was surely hoping this Main Event would end with the dream scenerio of winning his 6th, but he will have to wait till the next stop to do that. He has been eliminated.

Weber Gives Some Back
Matt Weber has been cruising ever since he sat down at his table, but we finally saw him on the losing end of a big pot just moments ago.
We caught the action on the flop, which read 
. Weber's sole opponent fired out 4,000, and Weber tossed in the call. The 
on the turn killed the action, as both the players checked, but there was action on the river. Weber was now faced with a bet of 6,000, and as soon as the bet was place, he sighed, said "Why am I the worst?", and put the call in.
Weber's opponent opened up for a turned set, and Weber chucked his cards toward the muck. After that hand, Weber is down to 44,000 which is still well above the average.
