Change Of Plan

The TD has announced that seeing as we're so tantalizingly close to the money, we'll be taking a 10 minute break at the end of this level and then returning to play down to the delicious cash.

Horner in the Corner

A last-minute disaster for Brent Horner -- he ran kings into aces and then was promptly moved to another table. He's still on 40,000, but is, in his words, "devastated".

Sebok Finds a Hand

Joe Sebok found some timely aces to knock out two players with one metaphorical stone, and is now up to 42,000.

A gent limped in mid position and Sebok raised to 3,000. The small blind moved all in with pocket nines, the limper called all in with {K-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}, and Sebok was only too happy to make the call.

Board: {Q-Spades} {10-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}

Hellmuth's Had His Phil

His opponent took the bottle of water too.

After hours of just hanging on, Phil Hellmuth is finally bust.

He somehow managed to get it in with {9-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} against an opponent's pocket {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}. The opponent made quads, and Hellmuth walked away shaking his head.

Persaud Nik'd

Nik Persaud was down to 4,000 and declaring that he was going to let himself ante away a little while ago. "I'm really too hungover to play," he sighed. And indeed, that was the last anyone saw of him.

Phillips - the chips are gone, but the trucker hat remains
Phillips - the chips are gone, but the trucker hat remains
Dennis Phillips was spotted at the rail by our keen-eyed field reporter -- it turns out he smacked pocket kings into pocket aces, and that was the end of that.
