Jeff Gross opened to 1,700 from the cutoff and the big blind opted to call, leaving himself 5,200 chips behind.
The heads-up duo watched on as the 
fop came into view.
"All-in," said the player in the big blind.
"Stop and go?" quizzed Gross before calling.
Gross was ahead with his 
although the 
of his opponent had a few outs. The 
turn wasn't one of them, but the 
river was and Gross handed over 5,200 chips.
The television screens around the room are reading "Players left - 270" and with 243 places paid that means the bubble is fast approaching. Who will be the unfortunate soul to burst the bubble? We don't have long to wait to find out.
Andrew Lichtenberger has a little more breathing room after doubling up moments ago. He found himself all-in with the 
, but in good shape against his opponent's 
.
A nine-friendly board reading 
saw Lichtenberger win the pot and his stack had a boost to 10,000.

Todd Terry is closing in on 60,000 chips after getting very fortunate against a pair of kings.
Facing a raise and a three-bet, Terry looked down at 
and four-bet all-in for 27,100. The intial raiser folded, but the three-bettor tanked before making the call.
Terry didn't look too pleased to find his queens going up against

Level 9 has ended and the players sent on a 20-minute break while the green T25 chips are raced off.
James Atkin is attempting to chip up but doesn't seem to be getting action on his all-in bets. Just now, Atkin open-shoved from middle position and won the blinds and antes after nobody wanted to look him up.
At the other side of the room, Scotland's Niall Farrell is doing two things that he does best: (1) Adding to his stack and (2) drinking beer. He raised to 1,300 and nobody wanted to come along for the ride, so Farrell took his bet back and added the blinds and antes to his stack.
