Players have been busting at an incredible rate ever since we reached the money. One notable name who made a quick exit is Joe Tehan, who was short stacked since the end of Day 1.

We're Back

[user108095]

Players are back in their seats and cards are in the air. 296 remain, and we're in the money.

06-03-2009 10:52 UTC-12

We lost three players on the last hand of hand-for-hand play. The last two who busted split the money awarded for 297th place.

Players are now on a 20-minute break and regular play will resume with levels increasing to 800/1,600/200.

The Bubble Continues

[user67765]

Play is still hand for hand on every table which, as you can imagine, is a rather drawn out process when you have thirty tables in action.

We've lost only one player over the last couple of hands, with still two more eliminations required until we hit the money.

The Shaun Deeb Show Continues

[user67765]

Shaun Deeb has raked in another monster pot to continue his incredible surge here this afternoon, and once again it was at the expense of Francois Safieddine.

Deeb raised preflop to 3,100 from middle position with Safieddine calling in the small blind.

The flop landed {6-Diamonds}

and Safieddine checked over to Deeb who fired a continuation bet of 4,600. Safieddine made the call.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds}

and again Safieddine check-called, this time for the amount of 9,600. They went to the river where the {6-Clubs}

peeled off. Safieddine checked and Deeb moved all in for 37,300 chips. Safieddine went into the tank before finding a call, but he mucked when Deeb flipped {8-Hearts}

- a flush draw, that turned two pair and rivered a full house!

Deeb is running hot today as he now has a mountain of chips in excess of 80,000 in front of him.

Play Slows as Bubble Approaches

[user108095]

With less than 10 players left to break the money bubble, the pace of play has slowed considerably over the past few minutes.

The pace of our reporting has also slowed temporarily, as the floor staff has restricted media from getting on the floor until after hand-for-hand play is completed.
