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.

Dario Minieri: (mucked) / 
Mr. Opponent: 
/ 
Dario Minieri's opponent bet on sixth street, and despite ordering Minieri to, "Fold! One time!" Minieri made the call.
Minieri's opponent bet again on seventh street and, undeterred, Minieri called again - only to muck to his opponent's 8-7-5-4-A low.
"We can just trade," said Minieri's very cheerful opponent, "I like you."
Minieri just grinned as he took a smallish hit to 13,200.

Michael Binger was in the process of winning a large pot with 
when we caught up with the action - those cards not in any particular order.
"I completed first to act with the queen," he was telling the next table most cheerfully as he bumped his stack up to 16,000. His opponent in the hand, who'd mucked, looked somewhat less cheerful than Binger.
David Chiu: /
Seat 7: (XXX)/
Seat 8: (XXX)/
A three-way pot was developing between David Chiu and his opponents when there was about 4,000 in the middle after sixth street. When Chiu received his down card, he bet 600 and was called by the player in Seat 7. Seat 9 thought long and hard before mucking.
Chiu revealed a 7-6-5-4-A low and Seat 7 tossed his hand into the muck. With that win, Chiu has broken the 20,000 chip mark.
Jennifer Harman: (XXX) /
Jeff Madsen: (XXX) /
Jennifer Harman limped in on third street and called a raise from Jeff Madsen. They went heads up to fourth street. Madsen bet out on fourth and Harman made the call.
Harman was first to act on fifth and she bet out. Madsen called. Come sixth street Madsen was first to act once more and he bet out; Harman called.
They got to seventh street and this time Madsen checked. Harman bet, and it was enough to push Madsen off. He folded, and Harman picked up the pot without a showdown.
After that, Harman was up to a whopping 25,000.
"Eskimo" Clark: / 
Seat 7: /
Rast: (XXX) /
Paul "Eskimo" Clark was all in for less than 400 and had two callers, including Brian Rast. In the end, the player in Seat 7 bet 600 and Rast folded. Seat 7 showed a 7-6-5-3-2 low and Clark flipped over his cards to reveal three aces. Seat 7 took down the pot and Clark made his exit from the tournament.
