By the end of the night, only roughly 153 of them had survived. Several players were fighting for the overnight chip lead, but it seemed that Tim Horan, with about 150,000 chips, may have edged out Anthony Spinella's 145,000 by eliminating a player on one of the last hands of the night. Horan's pocket kings held against the all-in player's ace-king to give Horan the boost to the top.
Still in the hunt is a name that we've heard bandied about a lot at this 2009 WSOP: Jeffrey Lisandro. Lisandro's count was about 114,000 chips. He was joined by Blake Cahail at 125,000 and several other six figure stacks.
Play resumed at 2pm tomorrow as the tournament tries to play down to the final 9. PokerNews will have all the action. See you then!
