At the start of the day, the feature table was already pretty stacked. But with a few eliminations, it's even more frightening now. Brandon Adams and Todd Brunson are still there, and now they've been joined by Al Barbieri, Matt Glantz, and James Mackey.
Razz
Erik Seidel: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Marco Traniello: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Seidel moved all in on fifth, and Traniello called him despite pairing his board. Seidel showed 
and made a nine-eight on sixth. Traniello held 
and made a nine-seven. Neither player improved on seventh, and Traniello busted Seidel, moving up to 163,000.

PokerStars Pro Greg Raymer has been sent crashing out of the tournament during a recent round of razz. Raymer had a big stack for long periods of this event but was unable to get things moving post-dinner.
Raymer was all in on fifth street against John Hennigan with the board spread:
Raymer: () / 
/ ()
Hennigan: (
) / / ()
Raymer's board got very ugly as Hennigan made a nine to take it down and eliminate Raymer.
He was soon followed by Finnish star Ville Wahlbeck, to once again leave Bill Chen as the last PokerStars representative standing.

Stud
Jason Lester: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Steve Billirakis: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Lester called bets on fourth and fifth streets. When Billirakis checked sixth, Lester put in a bet. Billirakis called, then went back to betting on seventh despite Lester's board showing every draw in the book. Lester looked him up, but everything must have missed as Billirakis' rolled-up sevens were enough to take down the sizable pot. Steve climbed to 340,000, retaking the chip lead from Brian Townsend. Lester, on the other hand, is in trouble with 30,000.

Hold'em
Erick Lindgren wound up all in preflop from the small blind. Andrew Brown on the button was also all in and had Lindgren covered. And Greg Raymer looked them both up with the biggest stack. With two of the three all in, it was time to flip 'em before the flop.
Lindgren: 
Brown: 
Raymer: 
The 
flop had Lindgren all but out, giving Brown top pair and Raymer the nut flush draw. The 
on the turn changed nothing, and the other black king on the river gave Brown trips and nearly a triple up. Brown dragged the 52,000-chip pot, Raymer dropped to 80,000, and Lindgren said his goodbyes.
"All right gentleman, and John Hennigan, it was nice playing with you," said Mr. Lindgren on his way out.
Razz
We arrived at the table as the dealer was pitching cards across the table and Michael Binger was standing up in preparation of his exit from the tournament. His last stand was in razz against James Mackey with the boards running out as follows:
Binger: -X
Mackey: 
-X
Mackey had made an unbeatable ninety-five on sixth, leaving Binger drawing dead and eliminated from the tournament. Mackey is now up to 87,000.
