Erick Lindgren is no longer missing from the tournament. If you recall, he registered for the tournament but let his stack be anted away while he was off attending to other matters. He has finally taken his seat and is sitting with about 2,550.
Meanwhile, Phil Hellmuth has yet to take his seat. His stack is quickly being eaten away by the antes and he is down to 2,550. Will he even show up for the tournament before being eliminated? We'll have to wait and see.
Steve Zolotow: 
(X) / 
Stuart Rutter: 
/ 
We arrived just in time to see Steve Zolotow checking on seventh street - we think he checked blind. Stuart Rutter, who recently finaled the $5,000 shootout, bet, and Zolotow called - before flashing and then mucking his last down card to Rutter's 7-6-5-3-A low.
Rutter moved up to 10,800. Zolotow dropped further to 4,000 or so.
Players have returned from their break and the cards are in the air.

Players are now on a one hour dinner break.
We didn't catch the hand but we saw Tom "durrrr" Dwan stand up from the table, exit the tournament area and watched as the dealer pushed what used to be Dwan's chips to his opponent across the table.
Bernard Lee: 
/
Bernard Lee completed and Jennifer Harman called. Lee bet every street and Harman called every step of the way. Lee said, "I had eighty-four smooth going in, and I have it going out."
"Oh, I still have a draw," Harman responded. She drew a six and ended up with a 7-6-5-4-3 low, which left Lee crippled. He was eliminated by Harman a few hands when she once again, ironically, drew a six on the river to beat Lee's 9-8 low.
We're not sure exactly when the last of EPT San Remo champion Liv Boeree's chips went in, but the cards looked like so by the end of the hand.
Boeree: 
/ 
Player 1: 
/ 
Player 2: (mucked) / 
"This is what I make when I have no chips," sighed Boeree as her 6-5-4-3-A low was good for a triple up to just 1,700.
