Chop it Up

[user65508]

Play has somewhat subsided here as the few flops we do see end up being chopped up. We're only four players away from the final eighteen, and we should be there soon at this rate.

Sick Tables

[user65508]

We're currently occupying tables 8, 9, and 10 here in the Brasilia room. Though we might not be occupying table 8 for very long, as five of the nine players there make up the shortest stacks left in the tournament.

We also feel bad for players at table 9, which currently holds the top five chip leaders. Talk about random redraw!

Much Quieter on This Side

[user65508]

Originally, play had been taking place in the far corner of the Brasilia room. However, once they cleared out the $1,000 Rebuy tournament from this room, we got moved clear down to the other side. It took a bit to adjust, and the tournament staff stopped the clock in the meantime, but we're back in business now.

We're also much, much farther away from the nightly tournament as well, which means it's a whole lot quieter too.

Big Turn for Seidel

donpeters

The flop was {A-Spades}

and Sigi Stockinger and Erik Seidel got it all in with Stockinger's tournament life on the line.

Seidel: {Q-Spades}

Stockinger: {A-Clubs}

Stockinger was good until the dealer slapped the {Q-Diamonds}

on the turn. The river was the {8-Spades}

and Seidel took out Stockinger to move up to 90,000.
