We mistakenly reported that defending champion Brian Lemke was out a little while ago, but that was just flat-out wrong. Lemke's table was, for some reason, broken back into the yellow section of the Pavillion, the only table in that area and a table completely detached from the rest of our field. We're not sure what the logic was for that move, but we've found our guy seated with Vitaly Lunkin and Annette Obrestad and a chip stack of 38,000.
Update: From what we hear, that table was situated directly under an air conditioning vent, and a few of the players were complaining about being cold. The staff accommodated them by relocating them across the room to the warm section.
Perry Friedman is going to enjoy his dinner after sending a short-stacked opponent to the rail. Friedman called a re-raise preflop and spiked a set as all the chips went into the middle. His opponent held pocket sevens and Friedman improved to quads on the river. He's up to 55,000.
Believe it or not, six full levels have come and gone here in Event #17. That means it's time for a 90-minute dinner break as the 500-or-so remaining players file out the door.
We'll be back at 8:15 p.m. to pick up the last four levels of action for the day.
We approached the table of Chino Rheem to see him check-raising his opponent's bet of 1,800 to add an extra 4,500 to the bet on a flop of .
His opponent deliberated for several minutes before announcing a re-raise of an additional 6,200. It was back on Rheem and he raised it up again as he moved all in! His opponent very quickly gave it up and Rheem moves up to 60,000.
Unfortunately we don't have any details of the action, but we understand that Amit Makhija's have just busted Dan Heimiller from the tournament, as Makhija now assumes the tournament chip lead with 83,000 chips.
