We just learnt that Richard Ashby is currently being blinded out of the $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha and he just asked a tournament official if it was possible to unregister.
However he was informed that because he registered late, he would be unable to get a refund, and that refunds are only possible for those who pre-register.
"I guess we know what you're doing at dinner!" laughed Matt Glantz.

Ian Gordon: (X-X) / 
Schulman completed, and Johnson put in another bet. Ian Gordon, the bring in, joined them to see fourth. Johnson bet, Gordon folded, and Schulman called. Johnson bet again on fifth, and Schulman called. On sixth, Marco checked to Nick, who bet. Johnson called him, and both players checked seventh. "Queens up," Schulman said, taking the whole pot with 
since neither had a low.

Marco Johnson raised the button before Scott Fischman re-popped it in the small blind. Johnson made the call and the flop fell 
. Fischman fired a bet on the flop, as well as the 
turn and 
river with Johnson calling him down.
Johnson was the only to open as he revealed 
for a jack-high flush to take it down. Fischman is down to 110,000 with Johnson at 1.38 million.

As many of the players were already racking up their chips and starting to move across to the feature table, a massive hand was going down on the final hand before the break.
Matt Glantz, Marco Traniello, Scott Fischman all capped the action preflop, with Fischman all in for his last chips.
The flop landed 
and Glantz checked to Traniello who fired a bet into the side pot. Glantz made the call.
The turn was the 
and Glantz checked, Traniello bet, and Glantz put in the check-raise. Traniello called.
The river brought the 
and Glantz fired a bet with Traniello making a crying call. The ultimate cooler was then revealed:
Fischman: 
Glantz: 
Traniello: 
Glantz spiked his king on the turn as Traniello disgustedly tossed his cards into the muck.
Fischman is out, Traniello is crippled and cursing his way over to the feature table, while Glantz is now up to a commanding 1.8 million chips.
We got down to the final table just in time for dinner. The players racked up their chips and moved them to the main final table stage before they left to find sustenance. And they'd better prepare themselves for the long haul. They're going to be here for a while when they return.
