board, Paul Foltyn held {9-Diamonds}

against his unfortunate opponent's {2-Clubs}

. Foltyn now on 13,400 and one of the early pace-setters.

Drama for Filippi

[user4144]

Amnon Filippi was all in a few moments ago with nines versus eights, and although an eight on the flop appeared to deal a crushing blow, running cards for the rivered straight saved his bacon and kept him alive.

Filippi now on 5,600.

Jennifer Tilly Eliminated

[user4144]

All in with {A-Diamonds}

against the {A-Clubs}

of Lex Veldhuis, the stunningly beautiful Jennifer TIlly received no help on an {A-Spades}

board and was sent to the rail. Not to worry though, Tilly has been a prominent presence during this Series, so we're bound to see her again soon.

[user46392]

Perry Friedman Eliminated

[user4144]

Somehow crippled to just 150 in chips, Perry Friedman found himself all in on the big blind with {Q-Diamonds}

. Although it looked bleak with multiple opponents, second pair was enough on an {A-Diamonds}

board to see the 2002 bracelet winner more than treble up to the 500 mark.

However, the resurgence didn't last long, Friedman soon all in again (this time for 350) with {4-Diamonds}
