The final twenty-four players are taking a 10-minute break before redrawing.
Fred Adriano: /
Chris Bjorin: /
The last of Fred Adriano's chips went in on sixth street, but he received nothing on seventh street that could help him. He busted in 25th place and Chris Bjorin's stack increased to 130,000 as a consequence.
With that, we're down to three tables. Redraw time!
Dee Tiller: /
Dario Minieri: (XX) /
We found a very excited Dee Tiller betting out and a very quiet and chip-diminished Dario Minieri folding.
"Italia!" cried Tiller, "Mira! The wheel!" and threw down a deuce and a four to prove it.
Tiller moved on up to 160,000. Minieri dropped right down to just 30,000.
Yuval Bronshtein found himself all in against Morris Klevansky on fifth street with both players boards running out as follows:
Bronshtein: / /
Klevansky: / /
With Bronshtein unable to best Klevansky's ten-low, he made his way to the rail while collecting $5,423 for his efforts
Now that we're down to 26 players, all of whom are faced with the very real possibility of making a final table and having a shot at the bracelet, play has considerably slowed down. Nevertheless, the limits are getting very big indeed and the short stacks are getting ever smaller, so in our professional opinion it won't be long before we see some good action.

Level: 16
Blinds: /
Ante:
Mikko Pispala brought in and David Chiu and Arthur Cobb made the call. Chiu fired out on fourth and was called by just Cobb before a bet on fifth was enough to force Cobb to fold.
Pispala (X)(X) / (folded on fourth)
Chiu: (X)(X) /
Cobb: (X)(X) /
As Chiu was pushed the pot, he flashed his in the hole while climbing to 65,000 in chips.
