The tournament staff is scrambling just a bit, as they didn't expect to still have one match running at this point. There will be a new chip set in play when this round concludes, and there is the whole matter of moving over to the Amazon Room to deal with. The Round of 32 is scheduled to get underway at 6:00pm, just 17 minutes from now. There's no word just yet, but we may be delayed by a few minutes.

This round had a shot to be all over just now though. Mike Caro was all in for his final 78,800 before the flop. He showed down {A-Diamonds}

, and Alexey Popov looked him up with {A-Spades}

. A dry board meant a double up for Mike Caro, and play continues. Caro has the lead with 157,600 to Popov's 82,400. There isn't much play left with the astronomical blinds, and this should wrap up in just a few hands.
