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!

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.
All the money went in preflop between Michael Fetter, Brent Carter, and Laurent Lefrancq.
Fetter held J-Q-K-K, Carter had Jad A-J-J-6, and Laurent had A-2-3-Q.
The flop fell , flopping the nuts for Fetter with Carter drawing dead and Laurent looking for the case ace or the case queen. Fetter nabbed the whole thing and is up to 220,000 afterwards.
