Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
The players are now on another 10-minute break.
Chips Ahoy!
As the remaining 41 players battle on in the $2,200 No Limit Hold'em Six Handed event, we've come across three new big stacks in the room - those of Bodo Sbrzesny, Ben Vinson and Brendan Edmonds, who are all within 100,000 in chips.
Mike Spilkin has also begun mounting his comeback; having been as low as 1,600 in chips, he's doubled through a few times and is now on 40,000. There seems to be no stopping Ben Delaney either - he's now on 190,000 in chips and climbing!
Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Vesko Zmukic and Grant Levy. Zmukic got the last of his money into the middle with 
on a flop that read 
, but ran into Sbrzesny's 
. Despite hitting the 
on the turn for the flush draw, the river filled up Sbrzesny and sent Zmukic to the rail.
Levy joined him a short time later when he moved the last of his stack into the middle preflop with 
, but failed to improve against the of Jim Sachinidis.

Adgee Cuts Boxell Back, Keeton Cut Out
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Andrew "Adgee" Jeffreys is now up to 100,000 in chips after doubling through Leo Boxell on the feature table, but Sean Keeton wasn't so lucky, falling to Ray Ellis on table 29.
After a big preflop raising war between Boxell and Jeffreys, the money was all-in on a 
flop; Jeffreys had for two pair but Boxell had him dominated with . Jeffreys was about to leave after the turn when suddenly, another appeared on the river, giving him the full house to double up!
"I'd say sorry, but you know ..." Jeffrey said. "It's okay," said Boxell with a smile, "I've already cracked aces twice tonight!" Boxell is still going strong with 61,000 in chips.
A short time later, Keeton moved the last of his money in with 
against Ellis who called with , but Ellis hit the on the river to put Keeton on the casualty list.
The field has now been reduced to 48 players - only another 24 to go until we get our top 24!

Jarvis Cast Out, Seal Broken
Level 7
: 300/600, 75 ante
2010 WSOP November Niner Matt Jarvis has been eliminated by Kosta Varoxis, who is now holding a stack worth 93,000 in chips as the action continues with 54 players left in this event.
As Varoxis recalled to us, the money was all-in on a flop that read 
; Jarvis was the all-in player with 
but ran into Varoxis' two pair with .
A short time later, the crowd erupted around table 26 and we saw some rare emotion from Emmanuel "Curly" Seal who exclaimed, "That's so sick!" as the dealer shipped the pot over to Ami Barer.
The reason? Seal had moved all-in preflop for his last 3,475 with 
but Barer had called with which had improved to a straight after the dealer spread the board of 
.
Full Tilt Red Pro Billy "The Croc" Argyros is still carrying on about Barer, rather loudly, we might add, as he may have consumed a few glasses of wine during the dinner break. And when Croc's on the sauce, you know you're in for a few laughs!
And all amongst the hullabaloo from Argyros' table, we also saw tablemates Daniel Neilson and Dennis Huntly head for the rail. We're now down to just 54 players.
Notable Notables
After zipping around the tables once again, we've gathered some updated chip counts of our notable players. We should also take this time to credit Kyle Cheong, who is now on more than 60,000 in chips.
