It appears as if many chose to start with the full 4,500 in chips and abandoned the idea of the red add-on chips. Without the security net of a rebuy chip behind them Sorel Mizzi, Jimmy Fricke, Bill Gazes, David Ulliott, Chris Bell and Scott Clements have been eliminated.
On a board of Gavin Griffin is all in (but with one rebuy chip behind) against Bill Gazes. Gazes show for trip jacks, but Griffin has him beat with a full house .
Griffin currently has 6,200 and a rebuy chip while Gazes falls to only 1,700 (with no rebuy chips left)

On a board showing Qd-Qs-10s-5d-9s, Esther Taylor, facing an all in bet from her opponent, tanked for several minutes before mucking her 10-10-X-X face up on the table. Out of the goodness of his heart, her opponent turned over Qh-Qc-x-x for quads, validating Taylor's laydown.
