Play has really slowed down following the last round of eliminations. We are pretty confident in saying we have not seen a river except for one hand. It was blind vs. blind and it was checked the whole way.
The players will be headed to break in about ten minutes. We'll see if stretching their legs will get their blood and their chips moving.
The players are up from the tables for another ten minute break. See you back here is a few.

The action began when Chane Kampanatsanyakorn raised to 35,000 from under the gun. Directly to his left, Chris Haggart made the call. It then folded around to Kosaku Akashi in the big blind who went all in.
After studying Akashi's stack, Kampanatsanyakorn folded. Haggart, however asked for a count and was told he would need another 170,000 to call. Haggart made the call and turned over 
while Akashi showed 
. The board ran out 
and Akashi is stacking some chips.

Andy Chan was down to his final 53,000 chips when he just moved all in from the hijack. Kosaku Akashi tanked for a bit and called from the small blind after which Chane Kampanatsanyakorn called from the big.
The flop brought 
and both players who still had chips left decided to check.
On the turn the 
hit and Akashi checked again to Kampanatsanyakorn who bet 70,000 this time around. Akashi called and on the river the 
hit.
Both players checked and Akashi showed [Ac8c8] which was no good against Kampanatsanyakorn's 
, as he had rivered a flush. Chan showed 
and he was eliminated in 10th place.
Play will now continue with two tables of five until we lose one more player before the Final 9 create the official final table.

The action folded to Kosaku Akashi on the button who raised to 45,000. Chane Kampanatsanyakorn came along from the small blind, as did Christian Haggart from the big.
The flop came and Kampanatsanyakorn checked over to Haggart who bet 50,000. Akashi folded and Kampanatsanyakorn raised to 300,000. Haggart immediately went all in and Kampanatsanyakorn made the call with a bit of hesitation.
When the hands were turned over Kampanatsanyakorn was freerolling with his against Haggart's 
. Obviously, Haggart was not happy to see what he was up against. Luckily for him, he faded a spade when the 
turn and 
river came.
