With three and a half hours of registration still remaining, anything goes as players from Event #27, Event #28 and Event #29 are eliminated from their respective tournament.

Phil Hellmuth has just taken his seat in today's tournament and has already won a few pots to see his stack increase to 6,300.
Hellmuth, arguably one of the best all-round poker players in the world, currently sits seventh on all-time seven-card stud hi-low money list behind Eric Rodawig, Frank Kassela and Mike Sexton — who are all still in this tournament.
Jeffrey Lisandro — who is in town and actively playing plenty of events — still has several hours to find a seat, while Sebastian Ruthenberg isn't believed to be in town. Ryan Hughes, who currently sits fourth on the list, hasn't been spotted yet.
Hellmuth has six career stud hi-low cashes dating back to 1988, and he will be looking to add his seventh in this event. Of course, this event could potentially result in his 14th WSOP gold bracelet win, but that will have to wait for now until we see how (or if) he progresses throughout the next couple of days.
Here's at look at the all-time seven-card stud hi-low money list:
| Rank | Player | Money Won |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Eric Rodawig | $463,373 |
| 2nd | Frank Kassela | $ 461,199 |
| 3rd | Jeffrey Lisandro | $435,078 |
| 4th | Ryan Hughes | $363,014 |
| 5th | Sebastian Ruthenberg | $328,762 |
| 6th | Mike Sexton | $314,263 |
| 7th | Phil Hellmuth | $311,146 |

Phil Hellmuth completed and was called before Alexander Kostritsyn raised. Hellmuth re-raised and Kostritsyn capped it at 1,200 with both players calling. Fourth street saw action checked around before action was capped on fifth with Kostritsyn finding himself all in for 2,825. On sixth the unknown opponent would find himself all in for his last 625.
Hellmuth: 
/ 
Kostritsyn: 
/ 
Opponent: 
/ 
With Hellmuth leading with his pair of queens but every player having multiple outs in different ways, Kostritsyn flipped over his 
first to make two pair and take the lead.
Hellmuth then found the 
to take the lead back - and simultaneously eliminate Kostritsyn - while the unknown player found the 
to keep him alive in the tournament.
