It seems that in literally every single tournament he enters, Tom Dwan holds the chip lead at some point. True to form, we went over to his table, and Dwan is sitting at about 75,000. We will be sure to keep an eye on Dwan, as short handed Omaha is one of his many specialties.
With only two tables left to be broken down over in the White section of the Pavillion Room, we're beginning to pick up on even more notables that we may (or may not have) missed earlier. One of them is Jon "PearlJammer" Turner.
The action folded around to Turner who raised to 1,275 from the hijack before the flop; he only got one caller in the form of the player in the blind, but then they both checked all the way down the board of 
. The big blind showed 
but that was good enough to take the pot down.
Turner is now down to less than 30,000.
David "Devilfish" Ulliott raised to 1,500 on the button and received a call from the big blind. When the flop came down 
, the big blind opted to lead out for 1,800. Devilfish made the call and then both players checked the 
turn.
When the 
peeled off on the river, the big blind immediately bet pot, or 7,200, and the Devilfish thought for a moment before saying in his thick Hull accent, "Well, might as well go all in."
"How much is it?" the big blind asked. "I still might be able to fold."
"I like the sound of that," the Devilfish responded considering he only had 2,175 more. Sure enough, the big blind folded and Devilfish took down the pot without a showdown.
Meanwhile, Erica Schoenberg made her exit from the tournament, but not before saying goodbye to her husband, Erick Lindgren.

A middle position player raised it up to 1,200 and got a call from the cutoff and Vanessa Selbst in the small blind.
The flop came down 
and all three players checked. The turn came 
and Selbst bet out 1,500. The player in middle position re-raised it up to 6,000, the cutoff folded and Selbst went into the tank. Eventually she made the call and saw the river 
Both players checked and the middle position player showed 
for a rivered set and Selbst showed 
for top pair and the missed nut flush draw.
Selbst lost that small one but is still very healthy with 40,000 chips.
