There has been an empty seat where Tom Dwan was sitting for a majority of this level. Durrrr's already short stack has slowly been blinded and anted away to just over 5,000

On a board of 
we found Andre Akkari check-raising all in over an opponent's 2,200-chip bet.
Akkari's opponent made the call tabling his 
, but it would be Akkari's 
that would see him pushed the pot when the 
completed the board on the river.
Akkari is now up to 34,000 in chips.

We caught up with the action just as hands were flipped up. We think that Daniel Negreanu open-raised all in and was called in one spot.
Negreanu showed the 
and was slightly behind his opponent's 
The board ran out 
, doubling Negreanu up to a paltry 5,500.
Allen Bari opened with a raise preflop and was three-bet and then four-bet to 2,600.
Once the action returned to Bari, he slid out a five-bet to 5,475 to force both opponents to fold while he moved to roughly 35,000 in chips.
Our PokerNews field reporter wandered over to Daniel Negreanu's table to see how the Team PokerStars Pro was handling his tournament.
Hitting a high point of over 25,000, his stack had been dwindled down to roughly 2,600 as Negreanu started recounting some of his beats so far.
"I've lost like every flip this tournament. Even during the heads-up too!"
Asking about the upcoming Event #5: $1,500 Seven Card Stud tournament, Negreanu stated that he will be playing it, and probably sooner then later.
"At least you can't lose a flip for all your chips in Stud!" added Negreanu.
Dan Kelly opened to 400 only to have an opponent in the cutoff three-bet to 1,000. Once the blinds passed and the action returned to Kelly, he moved all in and his opponent called off his 6,500-chip stack.

Opponent: 
The board rolled out 
to see Kelly eliminate his opponent and move to roughly 21,000 in chips.
The cards are back in the air, and although the blinds remain the same, the antes are kicking in.
Level: 5
Blinds: 100/200
Ante: 25
The remaining players are heading on a 20-minute break.
