We caught up with the action just as another player was getting all in preflop against Sam Trickett for about his last 10,000.
Trickett:

Trickett had a massive advantage going to the flop and the 
board sealed the deal for his opponent as he was eliminated.

Soon after winning his last large pot, Trickett was involved in a hand where the board read 
. Trickett was in the small blind and heads up against the big blind. He bet 4,300 into a pot of about 5,000 and the player in the big blind called.
The river was the and Trickett led once again. This time his opponent was facing a bet of 9,600. Trickett's opponent responded by moving all in for about 19,000 total. Trickett let out a laugh at the bet and threw his hand to the muck.

With around 9,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, a player in middle position bet 2,525 and Kirk Morrison made the call from the cutoff. Both players ended up checking the 
river, and the middle-position player simply said, "I have nothing."
Morrison then rolled over 
for a pair of eights and the win.

We happened upon Michael "The Great MJ" Cooper's table and saw he was sitting with just 4,700. He saw us looking and informed us it was the result of an aces-versus-kings situation, where he held the kings and lost a 60,000 pot.

Over on Gus Hansen's table, him and one opponent had played out a hand with a 
board showing, with PokerNews arriving at the table on the river. At this point there was already over 9,000 in the pot and Chris Brown was betting 5,875. Hansen looked pained as he went into the tank. He was muttering under his breath and we could catch was, "Can't have that, he he cant have that." Eventually he seemed to talk himself into it, flicking out a call.
When Brown tabled 
, the straight was enough to send Hansen's cards into the muck and rake in the pot.

Over at Luke Schwartz's table a player open shoved all in for around 27,800. Action folded over to Schwartz in late position who took his time pondering if it was worth it, with the blinds only at 150-300. Schwartz ended up throwing the hand away, and the rest of the table retreated as well. The shover, then showed 
for a pair of queens. Schwartz told the table he had 
, but it wasn't worth it.
Apparently this type of shoving is fairly common at the Main Event, with Fokke Beukers experiencing a similar situation.

The player on the button opened for 675 and found one caller in Viktor Blom from the big blind.
The flop came 
and Blom checked to his opponent, who tossed a clump of chips into the middle for an 850 bet.
Blom asked how much the bet was and then hurled two yellows and three black chips into the middle for a raise to 2,300. His opponent dejectedly slid his hand into the muck.
Blom hasn't strayed too far from the starting stack today - he is currently sitting on 26,000.
