The players have just colored up the blue 500-denomination chips and raced off. There was a slight delay as the wrong set of chips was initially brought to the table.

Phil Hellmuth Would Love this Table

Hold'em:

The last two pots have been won at showdown on table 15 with pocket nines (the hand with which Phil Hellmuth won the 1989 Main Event). First, Doug Ganger won a pot that was bet on every street with {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}, and then two hands later, Steve Zolotow picked off a bluff from Marcel Luske with {9-Clubs} {9-Spades}.

During the hands, players were ordering drinks. David Levi ordered some type of coffee with sugar. He made a point to tell the cocktail server to "make it quick," as he points to his short stack.

Hold'em:

JJ Hazan opened with a raise before Hoyt Corkins reraised from the cutoff. Hazan moved the last of his chips into the middle and Corkins called.

Hazan: {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Corkins: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

The board ran out {2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Corkins made jacks full of nines to eliminate Hazan in 16th place for $10,283.
