After almost six full levels of play, over 600 players have hit the rail. The official number of players on the board is 198. With 81 people getting paid, it is possible that players will either be in the money or at least close to the bubble by the end of the night.
Phil Hellmuth flops a set of fives but runs into his opponent's set of aces. The board blanks on the turn then pairs on the river and Hellmuth is eliminated from today's action.
