Jeff Heiberg approached the PokerNews team with an excellent hand recap that occured just before break began.
Heiberg recaps it like this:
Heiberg:
Opponent:
"There was a raise preflop before I acted and I made the call."
Flop: 
"I bet. He raised. I re-raised. He shoved. I called but he had me covered."
Turn:
"Oh it was crazy! Quad eights vs his flopped set of queens that turned a boat."
Heiberg is looking strong with just over 80,000 and 28 players remaining.

Louder than the music in the room or most conversations at or near the table. She followed her sigh with this comment, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I have no poker face!"
Johnson went into the tank with his decision. He gave Kretchman more time to comment but she suddenly became quiet.
Johnson slowly pushed calling chips forward and Kretchman immediately appeared disappointed. "Good call! Good call."
Johnson turned over for a pair of eights.
Johnson stared at her cards only for a moment before turning his hand over.
