The cards were already on their backs when we got to the table. The chips went in before the flop or on it.
Leif Force: 
Cameron McKinley: 
Board: 
Force rivered an ace to crack McKinley's kings with two pair, aces and queens, and with his nut low he thus managed to scoop the pot.
Now we're down to ten, our remaining almost-finalists are taking a moment to all squash around one table.

Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott raised pot in early position and it folded right around to Rob Hollink in the big blind, who called.
Hollink checked the 
flop to Devilfish, who promptly announced all in. Hollink folded, accidentally exposing the

Devilfish moved up to 320,000. Hollink dropped to 215,000.
Dan Shak didn't realize what he was starting when he opened for pot (70,000) pre-flop. Chris Bell was next to act and re-potted to 240,000, which put him more or less all in. Jeremy Harkin, in the small blind, then moved his whole stack into the middle as well. Perry Green (the big blind) and Shak quickly folded, leaving Bell all in alone against Harkiin. Bell showed

David Nowakowski had been the official short stack for some time when he finally got his chips in against Erik Seidel.
Nowakowski:
Seidel: 
Board: 
Seidel's aces held up and Nowakowski busted with a sigh. Seidel upped his stack to 490,000 - not bad seeing as he came back today with six big blinds.
Players are taking a one hour dinner break before they reconvene at the main feature table.
...At the Poker Kitchen, that is. The burritos are particularly good today.
We'll be back in an hour.
And what a final table it is!
There are no fewer than 13 bracelets at this final table - Seidel eight, Green three, Ulliott and Hollink one each - and almost all the spectator seats have already been filled, in spite of the players not actually being here yet.
This is going to be awesome.
They made some introductions. One of these players' poker ambitions is to meet Erick Lindgren, which seems like not such an ambitious ambition. But whatever! Cards are in the air. 12 minutes are left in this level.
