Chip and a Chair

Just a few minutes ago Scott Richey was down to his last three green chips; only 75.

The next hand he was all in blind with {9-?} {3-?} against two opponents. One had pocket aces, the other had pocket kings.

He cracked both, wining the small main pot, tripling up.

Fast forward another few hands and Richey is somehow on an amazing comeback with 8,000.

Fluss Hits a Royal Flush

After a flop of {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} Marc Fluss, is all in against two other opponents.

Opponent A: {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} - flush
Opponent B: {K-?}{Q-?} - top two pair
Fluss: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} - a flopped Royal flush!

To add to this prefect set up hand, the player with top two pair also happened to fill up on a later street.

Marc Fluss triples up with his royal flush and is now at 20,000.

Field Update

With dinner break just about 15 minutes away, well over half the field has already dropped - 1080 players remain with an average stack of 11,600.

Dinner Break

As level 6 comes to an end, play pauses for a 90-minute dinner break.

The chip leader at the break appears to be Thomas 'Titantom32' Braband with 78,000. Andrew Pantling is the second highest stack we've spotted with 49,900.

1,030 players remain with an average stack of 12,150.

Play will resume at 8:30pm PST.
