Peter Lee just knocked out Randy Humphries in 29th place, collecting enough chips in the process to push past the 700,000-chip mark and into what appears to be the current chip lead.
One more elimination and the tourney will be paused to redraw for the final three tables.

Sefula Seji was eliminated in 27th place. We didn't catch the hand unfortunately, but we saw him pack his things and head towards the cashier where he'll be collecting $4,526 for his finish.
With 26 players remaining, gathered around three tables, we've just made a quick round and gathered fresh chip counts for all. Here are the leaders at the moment:
Patrick Houchins -- 745,000
Peter Lee -- 705,000
Mike Kosowski -- 655,000
Adam Lippert -- 633,000
Edward Pham -- 485,000
Misread your hand? Don't worry, you can just turn the nuts.
Action folded to David Zeitlin who open-shoved his last 150,000 from late position. The button and small blind released before Mike Kosowski sweated his cards and proceeded to snap it off from the big blind.
Showdown
Zeitlin: 
Kosowski: 
(Wait...what?)
"I thought I had pocket sixes!" Kosowski exclaimed.
The flop fell 
giving Kosowski a gut-shot straight draw to go along with his two live cards. The 
spiked on the turn, giving him the straight and ending the hand. The 
on the river was but a formality, and Zeitlin was eliminated from the tournament in 26th-place ($4,526).
No one is quite certain what really happened there, but what is certain is that Kosowski is sitting with over 800,000 chips.
Preflop action between Brian Ali and Frank Argano had left the latter with a little more than 100,000 when the flop came 
. Ali was first to act, and did so by setting out a stack of gray (5,000) chips for a bet of 100,000. "I'm all in," Argano said with a wave of his hands, and Ali quickly called.
"I have a jack," Argano said, tabling 
. Ali had a pair, too, with 
, and when the 
spiked on the turn the table reacted with a gasp. Argano quickly stood up, and when the river brought the he was on his way to the cashier's table.
Chip leader to start Day 2, Argano collects $4,526 for his 25th-place finish. Ali, meanwhile, looks to be nearing the 600,000-chip mark.
Level: 22
Blinds: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 1,000
When we reached Table 83, the board read 
and Dylan Drazen led out for 25,000. Tim Begley opted to raise to 57,000 and Drazen called.
The river was the and Drazen quickly checked to Begley who fired 123,000. Drazen thought for a good two minutes before calling, and mucked when Begley opened 
for a turned straight.
Drazen dipped to 120,000 chips while Begley boosted his stack to 475,000.
