"Now I can play a little," Jordan Harris smiled after he just hit a huge river card to stay alive in this event. There's little room to manoeuvre for almost every though, as the blinds go up every 15 minutes.
Harris was all in for his tournament life worth 13,600, but he still had slightly more than the player on his left who was also all in with a third player covering both of them.

The board ran out and Harris basically tripled up.
The players are flying out and we're down to 53 players heading into the 11th level of play. The average stack is current 32,075 chips or 13 big blinds.
Luke Rajnoha just ended up all in for his tournament life worth 26,600 chips and he was dominated by the pocket pair of his opponent.
Rajnoha:
Opponent:
The board ran out and Rajnoha hit a set on the turn to get himself a double up. Rajnoha's opponent was left with just a few chips and he'll be all in shortly with the blinds and antes going up fast.
Bill Casey was sitting on a lot of chips earlier in this event, but the cards ran dry and just now we caught the elimination of the player who's been on Jason Somerville's left all day.
On his final hand Casey was all in with for just a few big blinds and up against the of his opponent.
