Chips have been flying between players and it has been an hour since our last elimination. Russia's Yury Gulyy is currently the lowest of the remaining seven players in chips, but this can change very quickly.
There will also be a break in play in 15 minutes or when the next person is eliminated to redraw to two tables. We will update chip counts for the remaining players very soon afterwards the first of these events occur.
Yury Gulyy Eliminated in Seventh Place (€4,294)
Level 15
: 6,000/6,000, 0 ante
Russia's Yury Gulyy has just been eliminated in seventh place for €4,294. Tables will be redrawing shortly and then action will go on break in about 7 minutes. The next player to hit the showers will be awarded €5,122.
Gulyy, who is best known for playing higher stakes ring games, also has had some success in tournaments as well. Today he adds to his over $800,000 in live tournament earnings. The Russian's biggest tournament cash came in May when he took second place in the FPS High Roller (Event #19) for €109,345.
