Showdown:
Small blind:
Bolotin:
The board would run safe for Bolotin, managing to dodge an ace and the clubs. He's earned himself a double up, crawling ever so close to 40,000.
. Mimi Tran moved all in on that flop, and the table big stack called her down to put two players at risk. Tran held 
versus the big stack's 
and the all-in player's 
. The turn 
was safe for her, as was the 
that hit the river, and she took down a big pot.After riding the short stack for much of the day, Mimi Tran now has some chips to work with. She knocked one player out in that hand, nearly tripling up to 45,000 in the process.
Eiffler:
Button:
"Oh!" said a surprised Eiffler. He probably thought he was behind when the button called the preflop all in. That wasn't the case, but it became the case when the flop brought an ace and a king but no jack. Two blanks on the turn and river ended Eiffler's day.
. Only Bonomo called.Both players checked the
turn. When the river paired aces, the action was checked once more. Bonomo showed a winner with 
to climb to 87,000.
Showdown
Von Halle:
Big blind:
Von Halle would strike gold on the flop, pairing up his ace to take a big lead. In the end, the board ran out
, giving Von Halle the knockout and moving him up to 95,000.
Whatever the number is, those 300-odd players will return at 2pm tomorrow in the Brasilia Room to play through the money bubble (270 places paid) and play down to a final table. Mohsin Charania is our presumptive overnight chip leader. He went on a tear right at the end of the night and bagged up 144,100 chips. We didn't see anyone else within 20,000 chips of that number.
Most of the notables that we had today fell by the wayside, but a few managed to slip through. Nam Le is still with us. So is Justin Bonomo and Jon Van Halle. The tallest German in the room, Benjamin Kang, will also return tomorrow.
The action kicks off at 2pm. See you then!
