We missed the hand, but we were told that Charles Dolan lost a 40,000 chip pot when his 
got outdrawn by another player's 
on a board reading 
. Dolan was left with only 3,500 after the hand.
A player ended up all in for his last 7,300 against Brandon Cantu. The all-in player held the 
and was ahead of Cantu's 
. The board ran out 
and the other player doubled while Cantu's stack dropped to 19,000.
Based upon our latest walk around the tournament floor, we have concluded that World Series of Poker Circuit stars Matthew Lawrence and Sam Barnhart have been eliminated from the tournament. If you recall, Barnhart was the man who won the inaugural National Championship back in May, winning the summer's first bracelet.

Action folded to a short-stacked player on the button and he moved all in for around 5,000. Randy Lew was in the big blind and made the quick call.
Lew: 
Button: 
Lew was primed to eliminate his opponent as the flop came down 
. All diamonds were out on the board, but it was of no consequence as neither players held a diamond in their hand. The 
turn changed nothing, while the 
river gave Lew the knockout. He is up to 22,000.

Players are now on another 20-minute break.
Level: 9
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 75
The remaining 357 players are all back to their tables in the black section of the Pavilion room and play has now resumed. Because play is going to cease when we hit 290 players (15% of today's starting field) it's possible we may not make it to the end of this level. Only time will tell!
We were scouring the room for big chips stacks when we saw a huge hand take place. We didn't catch all the details, but we do know the money got in on a 
flop, and when we say money we're talking a pot worth 110,000!
Volpe: 
Opponent: 
Neither the 
turn nor the 
river changed a thing and Volpe took down the gigantic pot. While the other big stacks are somewhere between 40,000-60,000, Volpe is out in front with an astounding 115,000!

Opponent 1: 
Opponent 2:
The board ran out 
and the player with queens tripled up while Filippi took down the side pot to boost his stack up to 21,700.
With the board already reading 
, the player in the big blind check-called a bet of 8,800 from PokerStars Team Pro Randy Lew who was on the button. The big blind showed his 
and Lew mucked his hand. Lew's stack dropped down to 11,000 after the hand.
