Level 8
Players are now on their last 20-minute break of the night. When they return, they'll play two more levels before calling it a night.
Stud:
We caught the action on the turn when a player in Seat 4 check-called a bet from Aaron Steury. The action was repeated on fifth street, except the bet was Steury's last 600.
Steury:

Seat 4:

Seat 4 needed a club on the river to eliminate the defending champ, but he couldn't catch as the blanked. Steury survived, though he is still well below average.
PearlJammed Jon Turner Bricked a couple monsters in stud 8 early on after dinner, been grinding extreme short stack for an hour, but couldn't get er done, busto

Tom Schneider, the 2007 World Series of Poker Player of the Year, was one of seven former Players of the Year to enter this event. Right now, just three remain including Allen Cunningham, Frank Kassela, and of course Schenider.
In a recent hand of Stud, the player in Seat 4 brought it in with the 
and then called a completion from Scheider. The latter then fired bets on both the turn and fifth street, with the last bet inspiring his opponent to give up on the hand.

Stud:
When we arrived at Table 23, Don Zewin was collecting his things and we naturally assumed he had been eliminated. A quick check of the cards confirmed this as Zewin's 
(x) failed to overcome the 
of his opponent.
Zewin, who was fresh off his runner-up finish to Phil Hellmuth in Event 18: $2,500 Seven Card Razz, became one of the first causalities of Level 8.
While most of the following players were eliminated during the last level of play, some may have been eliminated a bit prior to that. We can confirm that the following players were in the tournament at the start but have since taken their leave.

Limit Hold'em:
Action folded to 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Jonathan Duhamel in the cutoff and he put in a raise. Both the button and small blind got out of the way, but Ben Lukas opted to defend from the big. The 
flop saw Lukas check and Duhamel, who had 1,400 left, put out a bet. Lukas sprang to like with a check-raise, Duhamel three-bet before calling off to a Lukas four-bet.
Showdown
| Duhamel | |
| Lukas | |
Both players had flopped middle pair, but Duhamel had kicker issues. Neither the 
turn nor 
river would provide him the help he needed and he exited in the middle of Level 7.
