It's just come to our collective attention that the information we received earlier from Harrahs was wrong. Something got miscalculated somewhere along the line and the total number of runners for this tournament was in fact 1,941, not 1,942 as reported. It's a very small difference, but enough to throw out the payouts a little. We'll have the new payouts for your perusal shortly.
We arrived on the scene of this hand to see a board reading 
. The hand was being played heads up between Scott Montgomery and a player in late position. The late-position player had bet 1,700 into the pot and Montgomery raised it to 5,000. The late-position player then four-bet all in for 6,300 total and Montgomery made the call.
Montgomery: 
Opponent: 
Montgomery couldn't make his straight and doubled up his opponent.
20 more minutes of hanging around outside.
Back shortly.
Level: 7
Blinds: 200/400
Ante: 50
838 players remain as we head into the last two levels of the day. We've lost more than half the field, but we've got a long, long way to go if we want to get to a final by the end of tomorrow.
By the by, at some point the tables seem to have switched from 10-handed to nine-handed. The tournament is still occupying a whole section in both the Amazon Room and the Pavilion Room, and they seem to be breaking tables from both rooms, making it particularly hard to track players. One of the players who seems to have quietly disappeared in the midst of all this is the king of the ninja-like silent exit, Phil Ivey.
We got to Court Harrington's table to see a board reading 
with a little over 2,000 chips in the middle. Harrington was in middle position and was involved with a player in the small blind.
The small blind bet 2,425 into the pot and Harrington slowly made the call. When the river came 
, the small blind bet again, this time for 4,500. Harrington made a final call and showed 
with the small blind folding.
With the chips he won in the hand, Harrington is now up to just over 52,000
Simon Trumper is up to 26,000. He tols us how it happened.
There had been a raise, which Trumper called holding 
. Another gent called, and they saw an 
flop with two clubs on it. The original raiser bet out, Trumper went all in, the third player folded, and they were on their backs. Trumper's opponent tabled 
, but a third club came in to make Trumper a flush and double him up.
We arrived at the table and saw about 12,000 in the pot. There was a player all in, Men Nguyen had called, and Matt Marafioti had raised an additional 5,000. Ngyuyen tanked for about two minutes, even getting distracted when a player at another table (after receiving his order from a male cocktail server) said, "Thanks Man."
After the brief distraction, Nguyen gave it up. Marafioti showed 
, the all-in player showed , and Nguyen looked sick. The board ran out 
as Marafioti scored the knockout to chip up to roughly 17,000.
Nguyen has about 15,000.
Two Main Event Champions still remain in the field today. Joe Cada is on the low end, hovering around 6,500, while Jamie Gold is having a very nice day, up to about 52,000.
