Players are on their last break of the night.
Jim Collopy got quartered again a few minutes after giving three-quarters of his stack to Ylon Schwartz. "It just won't end," he said. But alas, it was all over a few hands later. He only had 8,000 chips left when he moved all in under the gun. "Don't let the 8k fool you," Mr_BigQueso said, since his shove was exactly the size of a raise. Dan Heimiller three-bet out of the small blind to isolate Collopy, and it was time for showdown. Queso had 
to Heimiller's 
. The board ran out 
, and Heimiller binked a five on the turn to bust Collopy with his set.

The whole field was distracted for a few minutes by a bizarre scene on the rail. The fiancee of one of the players was sitting behind the ropes watching the tournament play out. The player suddenly jumped out of his seat and started shouting at a man on the rail. It turns out the man on the rail hit the woman in the head -- she said intentionally, he said otherwise. Several spectators jumped in with their opinions, the woman started crying, and the volume of all parties involved started climbing. It took multiple security guards and floor staff to calm down the player and his fiancee, lead away the accused hitter, and diffuse the situation.
Two hours ago, Huck Seed looked to be in danger of bubbling this tournament. But using a combination of patience, short-stack skill and luck, Seed has managed to work his tiny stack backup to about 70,000, good for an average stack at this stage of the tournament with seven tables left.
The following players were all recently eliminated. They will receive $3,103 in prize money:

Jim "Mr_BigQueso" Collopy and Ylon Schwartz really liked their hands preflop. They'd already capped the betting preflop when the called the floor to ask if they could continue betting since they were heads up in the pot. The floor said no, so the big cheese had to wait to get his last 10k in until after the 
flop.
Showdown
Schwartz: 
Collopy: 
The turn was the and the river the 
, bringing no miracle for Collopy. Schwartz won the top half of the pot with aces, and they chopped the other half with nut lows. After being left with a quarter of his stack, Collopy is in trouble with just 16,000.
