The entire Red Section of the Brasilia Room has been broken and sits empty. Only half of the Bronze section remains and before the end of the night the Silver Section will have tables breaking.
A tour around the room revealed that these beautiful ladies of poker are no longer in the tournament.

The tournament clock reads that 560 players remain in the field. We've lost over 2,000 players at this point and we're averaging 4.7 players eliminated per minute.
Just an hour and a half ago Matt Waxman had near 40,000. Since returning from dinner his stack has withered down to 13,000.

The WSOP grind is a long one. The giant fields and 12 hour days are a far cry from the one hour TV final table episodes you see on ESPN. Tournament poker is a tedious task and we like to take the reader inside and see what it's like to spend an orbit at the WSOP.
We caught up the lovely Maria Ho, one poker's biggest crossover celebrities. She's hanging tough in today's tournament.
Hand 1 - We caught up with Maria as TD Steve Frezer got her registered in the 2-7 Triple Draw that began at 5:00 p.m. today. She was going to play it during the dinner break but had a stack of around 12,000 at the break. She came back from break and lost an 
to 
showdown and was down to around 4,000 chips. She folded preflop.
Hand 2 - From under the gun Ho folded preflop and spent the remainder of the hand stacking her chips.
Hand 3 - A player in middle position opened for 700, got a caller from the cutoff and Ho folded her big blind. She opened her iPad and sent a text message.
Hand 4 - The player to her right opened to 800 from the button after action had folded around to him. Ho peeked at her cards so hard they snapped and shoved all in. The big blind folded and the player on the button folded after a minute's consideration.
Hand 5 - Ho was on the button and one limper entered the pot. She folded her hand and witnessed an etiquette faux paux. Her neighbor to her right leaned back in and sneezed into his shirt. It just wasn't a small sneeze either, it was a full on wet sneeze.
Hand 6 - Mr. Grossly-Sneezed-in-his-Shirt opened with 775 and Ho folded preflop. She went back to her text messaging.
Hand 7 - Seated in the Hijack position she folded preflop.
Hand 8 - Ho folded preflop and went back to her text conversation.
Hand 9 - She opened the action with shove and the table folded around. After picking up the blinds and antes she has 5,350.
Hand 10 - She folded quickly preflop and looked at pictures on Facebook.

PokerStars Team Pro and 2011 November Niner Martin Staszko has risen from the dead. Actually, no, not really. Despite all the zombie uprising talk the past few weeks we mistakenly had Staszko as eliminated.
But he's fine and well and has just under the average stack. In a field this size players have moved up to four or five times.
