We just found Christopher George knock out a short-stacked player who was all in on third. George held a 7-6-5-3-2 by sixth which had his opponent drawing dead. The player was thus eliminated while George is definitely amongst the chip leaders in the field.
We didn't see the hand that took the rest of Josh Brikis' chips. We did, however, see his tweet after he busted:
"Might never play that game again. Out."
'Nuff said.
We forgot to tell you in the midst of the internet woes, but Daniel Negreanu has been felted here in the penultimate level of the night.
A player completed with a 
up, and Jimmy Fricke called with an 
(though he'd fold on fourth street). Erik Seidel came along with a 
well, and off they went.
Seidel: (X)(X) / 
Opponent: (X)(X) / 
Seldel bet his lead on fourth, fifth, and sixth streets with Mr. Opponent calling the first two of those bombs. When Seidel bet sixth, though, his opponent tanked and folded, showing the 
he had buried as he mucked. Seidel showed nothing, and that pot increases his stack to about 16,000.
A player with an completed, and Brendan Taylor raised with a in the window. Mickey Doft called with a 
, and the initial raiser called as well, though he'd fold after pulling a on fourth street. The other two went the rest of the way heads up.
Taylor: (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Doft: (X)(X) / / (X)
Taylor bet again on fourth street, and he led again on fifth. Doft raised there, leaving himself just 800 lonely chips behind. On sixth, that remainder went in, and Taylor called to see the cards.
Taylor: () / / (X)
Doft: (

Taylor had a made nine by sixth, but Doft was drawing live to a seven-low. Taylor drew a blank 
on seventh, and Doft needed a pull. He ripped over his card, though, and it was the 
, an unlucky pair.
That's the end of the road for Doft, unable to survive through the night for the extra equity of a couple more days off work. The bracelet will have to wait until next year.
We're out of internets here in the Pavilion. It's been gone for about 20 minutes, and it seems to be more than just a problem on our line. We'll get you back in the loop as soon as we have some connectivity again.
Sorry, ladies and gents.
Tryba: (X)(X) / / (X)
Opponent: (X)(X) / / (X)
We caught up with the action on fifth where Chris Tryba’s opponent check-called a bet. On sixth, the player checked again and Tryba gave a confused look before he bet once more. The opponent came back with a check-raise and Tryba opened his eyes widely before he made the call. On seventh, the opponent led out this time and Tryba threw in the crying call. The player turned over 
for a 7-4-3-2-A low and Tryba slammed down for a worse seven-low before he mucked.
Level: 7
Limits: 400/800
Ante: 100
The players are on a 15 minute break as the green T25 chips are being colored up.
