Barrie Pietersz came back today with 127,000 - not a big stack, but not the shortest. However, in the first few minutes of play he found himself down to just one ante after losing with 
against 
.
A remarkable comeback then commenced. He doubled first with 
against 
, and then again with versus 
. His pocket kings then held up against pocket queens and pocket eights for a triple up. Then he got his chips in again with 
against pocket fives and spiked. From just 1,000 in chips, Pietersz managed to build his stack up to 400,000.
However, just now he dropped right back down to 63,000 after slow-playing pocket kings and running into some trouble against on an ace-high board. It's not looking great for Pietersz right now, but you should never discount the possibility of a comeback...
That's four tables down, four to go before we make our final table and call it a night.
By the by this is now officially a four day event. We're not sure what time the final will be played out tomorrow, nor where, but we will not be playing down to a winner tonight.
Level: 20
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 1,000
20 minutes for all our remaining players.
James Mackey opened for 22,000 under the gun and Tomer Berda called. On the button, Cherie Beasley went all in for around 130,000 - and Mackey re-shipped for 680,000 or so. Berda folded, and they were on their backs.
"It's a race," as Beasley said.
Beasley: 
Mackey: 
"Do you have an ace?" Beasley asked the dealer. "I know you do."
But he didn't.
Board: 
"S***," said Beasley, with feeling. Beasley told us just moments earlier that this was the second event of the Series in which she had been the last woman standing. "If only I could make a final table," she said. But it was not to be this time around.
