The tournament is now split pretty evenly between two large tournament rooms, and when you see players coming out of the furthest one without a rack, it's time to report their Main Event demise. Most recently out:

Comeback of the Day

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Pierre Neuville
Pierre Neuville

Perma-qualifier Pierre Neuville was just noticed doing stretching exercises using the back of his chair for balance. When asked what was up with that, he replied, "I am back from 12,000 - so I have cramp!"

Neuville is now sitting on a much healthier and above-average 160,000.

Telezhkin Trouble

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

A juicy pot preflop developed into an interesting one post, as Mathieu Thiry four-bet Kirill Telezhkin's button 12,200 to 29,500. After a short think, Telezhkin made the call to see a {Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop. Thiry led for 39,000 (leaving himself 54,000 behind) which Telezhkin also called. The turn was the {Q-Hearts}. Now Thiry checked, and Telezhkin bet 19,200. Back to Thiry, who moved all-in, prompting an instafold and table-tap from his opponent, who'd now dropped to just 52,000.

Don't Ask, Don't Mar-Get

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Leo Margets
Leo Margets

Leo Margets has been in some trouble for the past hour or so after getting her jacks cracked by sixes. So it was a huge disappointment for her when she finally found both a hand and a caller, but ended up just chopping the pot.

Margets: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Gentleman Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Board: {2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

Margets remains super-short on just 25,000 or so.
