The players are more or less back in their seats, and we're back in action with lucky Level 13 of the Main Event.
There are 111 players remaining.
Tom Dwan saw us staring at the precarious level of his stack and then looked up at the digital clock and motioned while saying, "Lucky time!" The clock read 22:22.
He went on to ask where we were headed to next and we answered Deauville for an EPT. "Oooo," he said. "The last time I went to Deauville it cost me a house in Texas!"

Maria Ho's Aussie Millions dream is over. She committed the last of her chips on a 
[x] flop whilst holding queen-ten. The problem was that her opponent held queen-jack, and she failed to improve.

With about 70,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, Lee Nelson moved all in from the big blind and put the pressure on his opponent in the hijack. The latter only had 30,700 remaining, and after tanking for about 90 seconds, he committed them to the pot. Nelson rolled over 
for trips, and his opponent simply mucked before exiting the tournament area.
Meanwhile, we've noticed that both Jason Gray and Ralph Byrd are absent from the tournaments, and we're confident in saying they've been eliminated.

In middle position, Phil Ivey opened to 7,500, and the gentleman on the button three-bet shoved for his last 70,500. The 
quietly appeared face-up in front of Ivey's stack, and Mr. Opponent said, "I think you got it." He rolled over his 
, and he needed some help in a hurry to stay alive.
There was none. The board ran 
, and the set of aces give Ivey the knockout. With it comes another chip increase, and this one pushes him up over the half-million-chip mark and back onto the tail of the chip leader.

The irony is not lost on us that Tony G was just knocked out by a player that won a package to play here on Party Poker.
Diego Zeiter opened to 6,000 and Tong G defended his big blind to see a 
flop. Tony G check-raised all-in and was called. He tabled the drawing 
and failed to catch up versus his opponent's .

Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
The number on the big board has ticked its way down to 100 as we speak, and we're really bearing down on the bubble quickly here. The final 72 players will earn paychecks here this week.
The under the gun player limped and the rest of the table got out of the way before the Kenna James called in the small. The big blind tapped the table and the 
flop was dealt. All parties checked as the 
turn was dealt. This time James led for 9,500 and the big blind got out of the way, while the under the gun player called.
The on the river prompted James to bet, this time making it 17,000. James' opponent sent his cards into the muck and James took down the pot. After he won the pot James got out of his seat and walked to the table next to his. The table in question had gathered quite the crowd as a hand involving Tom Dwan and Tom Grigg had been going on for ten minutes. "Thought i better join the herd," James said to our PokerNews reporters as they gathered all the action. Stay tuned for that exciting hand in just a few moments.
