Now that the remaining players have chipped up and have stacks compatible with the blinds, the action seems to have slowed up a bit. There is about 80 minutes left of play, so it ought to be close on whether or not we reach the final table tonight.

Action folded all the way around to Brian Burney on the button and put in a standard raise. La Sengphet then moved all in from the big blind for 174,000, which Burney called.

Burney:

. She was suddenly in the lead and looking to dodge an ace and queen. The 
turn was no danger, so it was down to the river. The dealer burned and slowly turned over the 
. Sengphet survived and doubled to 379,000 while Burney took a small hit down to 890,000.
