The players are back and the cards are once again in the air!
Stephen Ladowsky Eliminated in 24th Place and Daniel Harmetz Eliminated in 23rd Place ($24,815)
It seems like the sickness meter has been turned up as some big pots are starting to develop and players are starting to hit the rail.
Miguel Proulx is the latest benefactor of the carnage as he eliminated two players in the one hand to storm to our chip lead.
All the action went down on a flop of 
. Stephen Ladowsky led out with a pot-sized bet of 75,000 before Daniel Harmetz re-potted. Miguel Proulx then moved all in over the top with both Ladowsky and Harmetz making the call!
Proulx: 
- aces with straight and flush draws
Harmetz: 
- top pair, straight wrap and inferior flush draw
Ladowsky: 
- pair and straight wrap
The 
on the turn was a huge card as it gave the short stacks a straight but Proulx made a set, which then improved to a full house on the 
river.
Ladowsky is out in 24th, Harmetz gets 23rd while Proulx is up to 1.45 million in chips.
Leandro Pimentel Eliminated in 22nd Place ($24,815)
Stephen Pierson raised from the cutoff position before Leandro Pimentel re-potted from the big blind. Pierson moved all in and Pimentel made the call for his last chips.
Pierson: 
Pimentel: 
The board ran out 
and Pierson made aces full of treys to eliminate Pimental in 22nd place for $24,815.
Fight Night
The players over at the secondary feature table, led by Tom Dwan, have requested that the dinner break be pushed back to enable the players to watch the big UFC fight later this evening.
The tournament directors were okay with that as long as all players agree, so the other two tables are currently mulling it over.
