Ferguson, Seidel, Grizzle Eliminated

Over the last five minutes we lost a ton of talent.

Erik Seidel took a bad beat when his opponent hit a 3-outer on the turn that ended his run at bracelet number 8.

The elimination of Chris Ferguson leaves Berry Johnston the lone WSOP main event winner left in the field.

Finally, Sam Grizzle fell at the hands of David "The Dragon" Pham, when his pocket 4's were outdrawn by Pham's A-5.

Seidel Takes Down a 21K Pot

Acting in middle position, Erik Seidel makes it 4,500 to go pre-flop and gets called by the button. The flop: {K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Without hesitating, Seidel bets out 6,500 and again gets called. The turn brings the {5-Spades} and Seidel casually dumps a mere 17,000 into the 21,000 pot. His sole opponent goes into the tank and eventually folds his hand, leaving Erik 75,000 in chips.

One Level to Go

The tournament staff just made a small correction to a statement they'd previously made. Rather than stopping play at 2:00 a.m. sharp, they're going to play until the end of the current level, which will take us to approximately 2:05.

Cards are back in the air and there are 106 players remaining.

Level: 11

Blinds: 1,000/2,000

Ante: 300

15-Minute Break

Players are now on a 15-minute break. They'll play for approximately one more hour tonight after they return from break before stopping for the night. Play will recommence tomorrow afternoon.
