Aces Hold for Chattha

Preflop, from early position, Theo Tran made it 3,600 to go and was called by Dane Lomas and Pete de Best, both from middle position. Charles Chattha moved all-in for his remaining 35,100. Everyone folded back to Dane Lomas who called and showed pocket jacks while Chattha turned over pocket aces.

Lomas failed to improve and is left with only 6,000 after the hand while Chattha is up to 80,000.

Theo Tran is Still In!

We had Theo Tran listed as busted in the chip counts for a few seconds--that was a misclick. He's still in. When someone on the rail told Theo that he was listed as busted in the count, Liz Lieu said, "That's because he keeps running back and forth between the Ladies Event and his seat's empty."

Marco Johnson Eliminated

On The Bubble

We're down to 100 players, which means we're going to start dealing hand-for-hand until one more player is eliminated and we reach the money.
