Many of the players have asked when the dinner break is. There will be a one-hour dinner break after this level, followed by six more levels of play or until a final table is reached.
We don't expect the field to reach nine players, but if the current rate of bustouts keep up, you never know.
About 200 players remain. More than half the field have reported to the rail in less than four levels.

We missed the hand, but Duane Gerleman was kind enough to fill us in. According to Gerleman, there was a preflop raised that saw just him and T.J. Cloutier take the flop.

but was way behind Gerleman's . Cloutier was drawing to a chop when the case ace came on the turn.
The river was a blank and Gerleman's full house was enough to eliminate the recently voted-in Tournament of Champions participant.
On a flop of
