The atmosphere has changed inside the Amazon Room.
Gone are the swarming fields of randoms and westward-bound summer vacationers here to take their shots at a quick cash score. What was once a tight squeeze with 121 tables packed into this room is now a nearly-empty chasm of dim lights and empty floor space. Just seven tables are left on the main floor, and the rest of the vacant space will soon be filled by throngs of spectators and media elbowing to catch a glimpse of the action. Fifty-six bracelets have been divvied out over the last seven weeks with WSOP Player of the Year Frank Kassela greedily taking two for himself. That leaves just one piece of diamond-studded jewelry in the display case, and it's the single most prized possession in poker. The World Series of Poker Main Event bracelet awaits, and the honor of hoisting it will be bestowed on one of our final 78 players. Oh and then there's almost $9 million up for grabs too...
Theo Jorgensen has thus far done his part to secure a seat at November's final table. He's well out in front of the peloton with 9.295 million chips, but it would be a serious blunder for him to relax now. There are still two long days of poker to be played before the summer recess, and only the nine most skilled and luckiest in our remaining field will be around in the fall to play for it all.
There's danger lurking in the waters below Jorgensen, too; Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi is in second place and hungry for his second bracelet of 2010 as well. If he can manage that, it might be one of the more impressive feats in poker when combined with his victory in the $50,000 Players' Championship earlier this year. John Racener and William Thorson are both forces to be reckoned with in the top ten as well, and Matt Affleck has a good stack deep in the Main Event for the second consecutive year. He was out on Day 6 last year, though, and he's already improved upon that performance and put himself in a good spot to make Day 8 and beyond.
We're just a few minutes from action, so don't wander off. The race to 27 is here!

Quick Climb for Clements
Early action here on Day 7. Scott Clements was all in before the flop for just a little over 1 million and was up against Brock Bourne. Clements held 
, and Bourne 
.
The board came 
, and Clements moves up to 2.2 million while Bourne quickly tumbles to nearly nothing -- just 60,000.
Toestesen Jumps Out Of The Blocks
It didn't take long for us to see our first big all-in of the day on the secondary feature table. John Armbrust raised it up to 125,000 from the hijack position before Jakob Toestesen made it 300,000 on the button. Action was back with Armbrust and he moved all in with Toestesen insta-calling for the rest of his chips.
Armbrust: 
Toestesen: 
The board ran out 
and the aces of Toestesen hold up for a huge double up. He's up to 4.065 million with Armbrust slipping back to 1.5 million.
Bellande Pushes
So far it has been a quiet start to the main feature table, but thanks to Jean-Robert Bellande, he spiced things up a little.
With the action on Bellande in early position, he slid his 680,000-chip stack into the pot and forced three folds before John Racener deliberated for around thirty seconds before folding.
The blinds quickly passed and Bellande collected the pot.
"C'mon John . . . I needed a call!" pleaded Bellande as he tabled his 
.
From the blogging desk it sounded as though Racener had folded 
to Bellande's all in.
"What! King-Queen! I feel completely robbed!" uttered Bellande as he stacked his chips up to 785,000.
Javis Picks One Up
James Fennell fired 190,000 on the flop of 
. He was called by Matthew Jarvis. The turn brought the 
and Fennell checked. Jarvis fired out 335,000 and Fennell mucked his hand.
Duy Struggling
Duy Le has had a bad start to his appearance on the feature table.
After opening to 120,000 and then folding to John Racener's 335,000-chip three-bet, Le was at it again opening to 120,000 with Jeff Banghart making the call from the cutoff.
The flop fell down 
and Le fired out 200,000 only to have Banghart move all in for 535,000 to prompt a fold from Le.
Thorson Straight To The River
Jakob Toestesen opened the action with a raise to 125,000 from the cutoff position. Redmond Lee called in the small blind, as did William Thorson in the big blind to go three ways to a flop of 
.
The three players tapped the table and the free card on the turn was the . Again it was checked around and the river delivered the . Lee checked again but this time Thorson took a stab with a bet of 350,000. Toestesen let it go btu Lee made the call.
Thorson tabled 
for a rivered straight which was good to rake in the pot. He's up to 7.11 million with Lee down to 1.7 million.
