Bobby James appears to have vanished and Tamer Kamel was kind enough to provide the details. James had already lost half of his stack throughout the day and then defended the big blind against a raise by George Demetriou and a call by Pavlos Xanthopoulos.
According to Kamel, James check-raised a 
flop to more than 40,000 and Demetriou folded, while Xanthopoulos called. James jammed the 
turn and Xanthopoulos reluctantly called with a set of nines, James only had ten-seven for two pair and failed to spike another ten on the river.
Also no longer in contention is Terry Jordon, who started the day among the top 10 in the counts.
