Bernard Lee was riding the short stack when he moved in with 
first into the pot. It may have worked if Sorel Mizzi didn't wake up with 
, and Lee was in need of some quick help as the cards were turned up.
There would be no help from the dealer, though, as the board ran 
to send Lee out the door. He and Curt Kohlberg both made the final table at the Midwest Regional Championship in October, locking up their seats for the National Championship in May. There'll be no repeat final table for either of them, though fellow finalists Shannon Shorr and Doc Sands are both still in the field.
Mizzi - 117,000

Walking over near the middle tables, Wooyang Lin asked us how many chips the chip leader had. "About 170-180,000," we answered. From across the table, Andy Frankenberger piped up, "Well I have like 200,000 and I'm the chip leader." For the time being. But the chip leader was involved in a big pot as he spoke.
The board showed 
when we joined the action, and there was about 20,000 in the pot. Frankenberger was first to act, leading out with a bet of 16,000. Kenny Hicks had 55,500 chips left, and he moved them all in as a response. Frankenberger called with his big stack, turning up 
for two-pair-turned-flush. That's good, but Hicks' 
is better. The king-high flush earns Hicks his double up, and he's all the way up to 155,000 now. Frankenberger drops to 121,000, but both of them still trail Vanessa Selbst, now up to 210,000.

We picked up the action on the turn as the board showed 
, and Alan Sternberg got the last ~20,000 of his chips into the middle against Nick Mitchell. It was Sternberg's 
against Mitchell's 
, the latter catching up on the turn to put half the pot within his grasp.
He would not get half the pot. The river came the , and Mitchell gets the whole thing. He makes aces full of jacks to knock Sternberg out, improving his stack to about 150,000 in the process.

David Fox and Nick Mitchell mixed it up preflop, and it ended with Mitchell getting himself all in for about 47,300 total. Fox was right there with plenty of chips and the , and he was flipping for Mitchell's chips as the young pro tabled 
.
Fox found a king on the turn, but it was too little, too late. The board came 
(yahtzee!) 
, and Mitchell is right up close to 100,000 now. That hit knocks Fox down more than a third of his stack, but he's still got about 80,000 to work with, well above average.

"Well, I almost pulled the miracle comeback," Matt Affleck said, stopping by our desk on the way out the door.
Affleck was under 10,000 for the first part of this day, but he managed to work a couple double ups to nurse his stack back to 80,000 or so. And a moment ago, he had a coin flip for double that amount. He got it all in with pocket queens, racing for a huge pot against Main Event champion Matthew Waxman and his ace-king.
Waxman could not find one of his six overcards to pair up, but the board ran out 
to give him the backdoor wheel and the knockout. Mark him down for about 160,000 now as he nearly doubles up courtesy of that flip.
Affleck is out.

Jared Jaffee opened with an under-the-gun raise, and T.J. Cloutier three-bet shoved from the big blind. Jaffee called all in for the ~37,000 he had left, and he was well in front:
Jaffee:
Cloutier: 
The board ran out 
, and Jaffee's Broadway doubles him up to about 82,000. Cloutier was left with just 1,200, and he got them all into the next pot with pocket deuces. We couldn't see the hand that took the rest of his chips, but Frank Calo had some form of paint-paint that sealed Cloutier's knockout.

With about 11,000 in the pot, we walked up to a flop showing 
. It was a multi-way pot, and the postflop action began with Dwyte Pilgrim and David Fox checking over to Eric Weiner. He fired the first 8,800-chip bullet before Anton Nikaj moved all in for about 38,000 total. When Pilgrim folded, Fox moved all in over the top, folding Weiner and getting Nikaj heads up for his tournament life.
Showdown
Fox:
Nikaj: 
The turn and river spells the end of Nikaj's day, while Fox climbs up to 135,000 with that knockout.
