And We're Done
That's it, we're in the money. The table in question was buried in the middle of the room where bloggers fear to tread during hand for hand, and the poor unfortunate declined to give his name, much though he was begged by your keen Pokernews team, so I'm afraid that's your lot for the night.
It's been a super-fast day -- nobody here realistically expected to get into the money today, but roughly 90% of the field later and that's exactly what's happened. Full chip counts of everyone who survived into the money will appear as if by magic during the night, and we'll be back tomorrow at 2pm to play right down to a final table. Until then, we reckon it's time for everyone to get some well-earned rest...

Not Quite
Some shouting over on table 10 -- but Steve Frezer announces, "Nah, he survives, guys -- deal another hand." A chorus of booing echoes around the Amazon Room.
Almost Hometime
We are hand for hand. Please stand by.
O'Leary So Near-y
One of the unfortunates who will not be making the money is pink-haired Brit Kevin O'Leary. He raised all in for a mere 500 over the existing bet on a 
flop and got two callers; he was already putting his coat on.
Both players checked the
turn and come the 
river Stuart Marshak bet out 10,400. His opponent called, but mucked when Marshak turned over 
for the flopped straight. O'Leary mucked too and headed for the door, leaving behind his giraffe shaped cocktail-stirrer-cum-card-protector. Marshak is up to a shade over 100,000.

Yeh's Still Got It
Anthony Yeh had dropped a little, but he's back up to 81,000 now after raising his button to 3,200 and getting a call from the big blind.
Yeh lead out on the
