Final Table Chip Counts at Break (full)

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Updated chip counts at break.

Flipping Coins to the Final Table

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

The ten-handed final table is now set after two coin flips fell in favor of Dom Gaccino and Matt Damico.

First, Gaccino took his {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} up against Ricky Pond's {A-}{k-}, and while he survived the flop, Pond spiked a {k-} on the turn. The river flooded Pond though, coming {9-} to send him to the rail in 11th place.

Just a moment later, Damico eliminated Papa Levy when his {6-}{6-} prevailed over {a-}{9-} on a clean runout.

Stay tuned for updated chip counts for the final 10 players in a minute or so.

Jimmy Bagels Burns One

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Jimmy "Bagels" Lillis
Jimmy "Bagels" Lillis

Jimmy Lillis owns a bagel shop with his father and is known as "Jimmy Bagels" both to his friends and his foes on the online felt.

He just left Johannes Debsai's stack with a huge hole in the middle, crippling him after winning a huge coin flip.

Bagels opened under the gun and when the action folded back around to Debsai, he shoved all in for about 1.4 million (1.2 million effective). Bagels called off to put the last of his stack at risk with {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, and he was racing against Debsai's {a-}{10-}.

The final board ran out {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{q-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} and the man known as Bagels scooped a huge pot his way. Debsai's went broke on the next deal, leaving us with 12 players in contention.

Datta Outage

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Sam Datta
Sam Datta

After becoming the first player to reach the 2 million chip milestone - back when the average was just around 400,000 - Sam Datta has just gone busto.

His last hand was a preflop coin flip, with Datta taking his {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} against Thomas Balla's {A-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}.

Although Datta managed to avoid aces or kings on the {2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} board, diamonds on fourth and fifth streets gave Balla the winning flush. Datta exited in 14th place for a $1,913 score.

Hurricanrana

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
The man known only as "Rey Mysterio Jr."
The man known only as "Rey Mysterio Jr."

Sam Datta just lost a chunk of change to the man we've dubbed Rey Mysterio Jr. (being the younger of two players who declined to provide their names).

When the money went into the middle our mystery man was trailing badly, as his {J-Spades}{8-Hearts} made just middle pair on the {q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} board. Datta had led out for a bet on fourth street holding {10-}{10-}, and Mysterio Jr. shoved all in for about double the bet. Datta made the call to find himself out in front, but the river card came {8-Spades} to give the man with no name a replenished stack.
