Brandon Adams' incredible run this afternoon continues as he has just cracked the rolled up kings of Michael Mizrachi.
Mizrachi: 
(X) / 
Adams: 
/ 
Adams made an ace-high flush on the river as Mizrachi couldn't fill up. Adams is now up to 530,000 after starting the day with just 115,000. Mizrachi slips to 360,000.
Nikolay Evdakov and Vladimir Schmelev are ruling Orange 336 with an iron fist right now. Schmelev just tagged Joe Cassidy in a big pot, getting two bets in on sixth street and on seventh street. Cassidy's aces and fives were no good against Schmelev's three nines.
A few hands later, Todd Barlow went all the way with (X) (X) / 
/ (X) against Evdakov's (X) (X) / 
/ (X). Facing a bet at the river, Barlow sighed and said, "Alright you got it. I had diamonds and had to go all the way." He mucked.
Barlow is the shortest stack now with 45,000. Schmelev is first to a million, with 1,040,000. And Evdakov has chipped all the way up to 870,000.
Sirious Jamshidi has taken a couple of hits in recent times, after folding on sixth street to pressure from Steve Billirakis, before unsuccessfully going to showdown against Michael Mizrachi.
Men Nguyen completed, Mizrachi called and Jamshidi came along after bringing in. On fourth, Nguyen checked, Mizrachi fired a bet, Jamshidi called and Nguyen folded. Jamshidi check-called on fifth and sixth before both players checked it down on seventh.
Jamshidi: (X-X-X) / 
Nguyen: (X-X) / 
Mizrachi: 
/
Mizrachi had straight and flush draws but could only manage a pair of nines but that was enough as Jamshidi mucked his hand. He's down to 440,000.
Cassidy: 
/ 
/
Evdakov: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Barlow: 
/ 
/ 
A big three-way pot, complete with some controversy, spelled the end of the tournament for Todd Barlow. Joe Cassidy brought it in on third street in front of Nikolay Evdakov, who completed. Barlow and Cassidy both called.
On fourth street, Cassidy double-bet his open fives to 24,000. Evdakov called before Barlow announced raise. He seemed not to realize that a double-bet was on board and tried to raise to 36,000, leaving himself 2,000 behind. A floor was eventually summoned who ruled Barlow to be all in. Cassidy then asked if he could raise and the floor said yes, because Barlow's raise was more than half of the required amount.
Cassidy raised to 62,000, drawing howls of protest from non-English speaker Nikkolay Evdakov. No fewer than three people (including me) were trying to explain to him in Russian why the raise was allowed, but Evdakov was having none of it. Finally the floor told him that the raise was to 62,000 and he needed to act on his hand. Evdakov called.
Cassidy bet fifth and sixth streets, with Evdakov calling each time. At the river the action was checked down. Cassidy showed two pair, kings and fives. Evdakov didn't want to open his hand but was instructed to do so because of Barlow's all in. He showed a small pair and a busted straight draw before mucking.
Cassidy sighed as he showed his unimproved nines. "I had a feeling I should fold," he said. Be that as it may, he's the 10th-place finisher.

We've redrawn to a final table of nine but we have to lose one more player before we reach our "official" final table of eight, at which point we'll be relocating to the main feature table of the Amazon Room to allow fans the best opportunity to watch this play out.
Here's how they lineup and approximate chip counts:
Seat 1: Men Nguyen - 230,000
Seat 2: Steve Billirakis - 420,000
Seat 3: Dan Heimiller - 85,000
Seat 4: Vladimir Schmelev - 880,000
Seat 5: Sirious Jamshidi - 430,000
Seat 6: Joe Cassidy - 550,000
Seat 7: Michael Mizrachi - 460,000
Seat 8: Nikolay Evdakov - 870,000
Seat 9: Brandon Adams - 600,000
Michael Mizrachi was the bring-in with the 
. Brandon Adams completed and Men Nguyen was the lone caller. Adams fired another bet on fourth, but when he paired his ace on fifth, Nguyen angrily tossed his cards into the muck.
Adams: (X-X)
Nguyen: (X-X) 
Nguyen's anger didn't end there as he let out his frustrations on one of the cocktail waitresses. "I said no ice! Bring me another one!" exclaimed Nguyen as he slips to 190,000 chips. Adams is up to 670,000.
Jamshidi: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Nguyen: 
/ 
/
There's nothing like the nut full house to ease the frustrations of a stack on a downward slide -- even better when it gets paid off. Sirious Jamshidi got things started by completing on third street. He was called by Michael Mizrachi, Men Nguyen and bring-in Steve Billirakis. On fourth street, Mizrachi and Billirakis dropped out after Jamshidi bet and Nguyen raised.
Nguyen made open fours on fifth street and bet every street the rest of the way. Jamshidi called all the way to showdown. He flashed two pair, kings and jacks, after Nguyen opened his aces full.
Jamshidi is down to 184,000 while Nguyen climbs to 360,000.
Dan Heimiller is the short stack of this final table but he's fighting hard as he just took down back-to-back pots to keep his head above water.
In the first Heimiller just called the bring-in with the and then took it down with a bet with the on fourth street. He flashed 
in the hole.
Next hand, Joe Cassidy completed with the and Heimiller called with the . Cassidy bet again on fourth before asking for a count on fifth.
Cassidy: (X-X) /
Heimiller: (X-X) / 
Heimiller had 47,000 behind and so Cassidy checked over to his opponent who gave a shrug before betting. Cassidy sat in the tank for a good minute or two.
"He must have overcards and is wondering which pair I got..." pondered Heimiller. Cassidy eventually folded and Heimiller flashed in the hole. Heimiller is now up to 130,000.
