In our last run through of the yellow section, we noticed that table 132 was completely empty, despite being surrounded by tables full of players. When we asked the floor, they said that someone spilled coffee all over the table, and they had to move it to the other yellow section. That table included Vitaly Lunkin, but we just saw him get out of his seat with no chips in front, meaning he has been eliminated.
We are 4 levels in, and players are now on their shortened 30-minute dinner break.
Level: 5
Limits: 200/400
Ante: 50

The cards are back in the air!
The end of the break after 4 levels is the last chance players have to register, and it looks like Michael Binger, Huck Seed, Phil Hellmuth, and Barry Greenstein are some of the many who entered just before the break clock hit all zeros.
Carlos Mortensen: 
/ 
/ 
Two-seat: 
/ 
/ 
After the one-seat brought in, the three-seat raised before Carlos Mortensen reraised. The others got out of the way before the cards were revealed and Mortensen's hand scooped the pot.

Scott Seiver:

Opponent: 
/ 
/ 
Our reporter picked up the action from fifth street, where Seiver bet and his opponent called. The same happened down sixth street, but then Seiver bet all-in for his last 125 on seventh street. The opponent called, but Seiver's hand was good and he doubled up to 3,600.
David Benyamine and Allen Kessler were sitting at adjacent tables, and nearly in perfect unison, we saw both players standing up with no chips in front, flipping their cards in the muck, and leaving the tournament area. Both have been eliminated.
