We didn't catch all the action, but we do know that Poker Hall of Famer Linda Johnson was eliminated after Cory Zeidman hit the river to make two pair.
Johnson:

Johnson was very gracious in her exit and continued to demonstrate that she is truly one of the game's greatest ambassadors.

John Monnette is one unhappy camper right now. The dealer who was responsible for the blowup earlier just pushed back into the table, and Monnette was once again pretty upset. He and Chris Tryba asked the floor why the dealer was coming back, but the floor was having none of it.
"He did nothing wrong," the floor stood firm. "I just checked the tapes and saw the whole thing. He did nothing wrong."
We walked to the other table to count chips for just 45 seconds or so, and during that time, Monnette was eliminated by Xuan Liu. He's out in 12th place, and the pay bump up over $10,000 will likely be little consolation.

With about 90,000 in the pot, Yarron Bendor led out on fifth street and was immediately raised by Todd Brunson. Chris Bjorin got out of the way, Bendor insta-raised and Brunson made the call. The latter proceeded to check-call bets on both sixth and seventh, only to shake his head when he discovered Bendor's trips.

It looks like Cory Zeidman has won a few pots while we were back here writing. He's in control of this thing with more than 20% of the chips in play. Sanjay Pandya seems to have dropped a chunk of chips to Bonnie Rossi, as well.

We picked up Sanjay Pandya's final hand on fourth street as Yarron Bendor check-folded. That left Pandya and Chris Bjorin heads-up.
Pandya: (x-x) / 
/ (x)
Bjorin: (x-x) / 
/ (x)
Bjorin bet fourth and fifth streets, and Pandya put his last 5,000 into the pot on sixth, revealing 
from his down cards. He had a low draw, and Bjorin's river 
didn't change that. Pandya was trailing, and he needed to catch a card to stay alive.
He couldn't. His last card was a blank , and that's no good. Bjorin takes the low with the seventy-five and his ace-queen high was good enough to give him the scoop. Pandya is out in 11th place, good for more than $10,000.

After doubling Marsha Waggoner, Chris Tryba was left with a stack of approximately 60k. He ended up having the bring in and made it the full 12,000, which Brandon Shack-Harris ended up raising. Tryba fired back and eventually all of his chips got in before the turn.
Tryba: 
| 
/ (X)
Shack-Harris:

Shack-Harris ended up making a flush on sixth street which meant Tryba needed either a six or four on seventh to stay alive. He squeezed it out, but it was not meant to be as he flung it to the muck.

Well, we have just two ladies left. Aussie Marsha Waggoner has just been eliminated at the hands of Yarron Bendor.
Bendor: (x-x) / 
/ (x)
Waggoner: (x-x) / 
/ (x)
When Bendor bet fifth street, Waggoner raised. Bendor raised again, and the call put the lady all in. She was in trouble, as Bendor had started the hand rolled up.
Bendor: 
/ / (x)
Waggoner: 
/ / (x)
Bendor didn't fill up with his river , so Waggoner was drawing live to the heart flush. It was her only shot at staying alive, but the river was the wrong shade of red. The was no use, and she's been eliminated on the final table bubble.
