Kara Scott won't be re-performing her heroic performance from Event #40 because she busted before the break.
Keep an eye out for Scott in the Ladies event tomorrow.

The Supervisor has informed that the players will play one more level then take a break in order to color up the green chips. Then two more levels and we are done for the day. With that let's go to work!
Level: 9
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 75
As the title says we are on another one hour break.
Nick Abou Risk's stack has taken a turn for the worse, but he is trying his hardest to change that.
We saw him move all in for 3,000 with 
and double up against the 
when the board ran out 
and then a couple of hands later Risk saw Simon Deadman open to 800 and he shipped in his stack over the top of him. Deadman folded and Risk added some chips to his stack.
Deadman's stack has swelled to 23,000 thanks to, "I keep getting kings and they shove on me with sevens." Story checks out.

Action started on Russell Crane who started it up with a raise to 800. Sam Grafton made the call and action was on the always dangerous Joseph Cheong. He could not resist but to raise it to 2,500. Crane than took some time to act.
Eventually he reraised to 5,000. This got Grafton out of the way but Cheong folded. The flop came 
. Crane then bet out 4,400. Cheong had a tough decision as the bet was for one third his own stack. Eventually Cheong let it go. Crane raked in the pot and moved up to 42,000.
Grafton who was out of his seat during the flop came back and had some banter with Cheong.
Grafton, "You had to raise (preflop) didn't you. Couldn't let me in there with my jack-ten. I could have doubled." He pretty much ended his claims by announcing to the table, "We all didn't just play the $100k buy in yesterday!"
As long as Grafton and Cheong are at the same table, we are sure to see more praise of how good Mr. Cheong is.

Moments ago, we walked past Kevin macPhee's table to see him sat stacking chips worth 23,700, but as soon as we returned to our station to update his count we were greeted with a tweet from MacPhee himself, informing the Twitterverse that he was up to 46,000.
46k. Got QQ all in in a spot I wasn't too happy about... got shown JJ. #WSOP1500Follow @KevinMacPhee
MacPhee is now on course for his sixth cash of the series.

The $10,000 Ladies Event kicks off tomorrow and it has sparked some conversation over on Table #56.
The players there were discussing how many male players will compete this year, despite the fact it costs $10,000 to enter as a man and female players receiving a $9,000 discount!
The player in Seat 9 said something along the lines of "a bracelet is a bracelet," to which the lady in Seat 1 replied, "Yes, true. But when you're out in the club and a girl asks you about poker and you tell her you've won a bracelet and she asks you in which event, that's not going to impress her!"
She then added, "You're really not going to be able to pick up girls with that line!"
Stay away from the Ladies event's gentlemen. There are plenty of other events you can / could have played in.
Over at the far end of the room, two British players are seated together, locked in deep conversation (probably about the weather, to be honest). David Vamplew, the former EPT London champion, and Neil Channing, an all-round British poker legend, are seated directly next to each other, which could create some interesting hands. Stay tuned.
