With the familiar call for payouts coming on table after table around the room as the event is now in the money, Maria Ho and Daniel Negreanu tangled over a pot.
We caught the end of the action with Negreanu betting 8,500 into about 15,000 on a 
board.
Ho took a minute, then pushed all in. Negreanu claimed ownership of a baby flush and a four that he would eventually fold as Ho showed 
.
Now the money has been reached, the inevitable flurry of bustouts is happening.
Heinz Kamutzki was one of those to go, closely followed by Dutch Boyd who just fell at the hands of Jason Somerville.
George Danzer just doubled up, making a set of nines on the river of a draw-heavy board. Below is his chip count and a few others from around the room:

Level: 12
Ante: 800, Bring In: 100
Jeff Garza made a rather quick call for his tournament life when Anton Smirnov pushed in on a 
board.
It turned out Garza's 
was ahead of Smirnov's 
. He then iced the double-up after the 
river fell.

Details were a bit sketchy on this one but Erik Seidel just got out of a chair with 
sitting in front of it, an ace-high board in the middle of the table with neither a queen or a ten there, and a gaggle of chips being pushed elsewhere.

Phil Hellmuth called an opponent's bet of 5,300 on the turn of a 
board. The river brought the and Hellmuth checked again. His opponent bet 5,200 this time, and Hellmuth didn’t look happy about it.
“The one time I try to trap all day” he said, counting out the calling chips. After a minute he put in the call and mucked when he saw his opponent show 
for a straight.
“I should have just mucked on the river… it would have been so spectacular” was Hellmuth’s final word on that hand.
A few hands after folding trips to a shove that would have had him all in for his tournament life, Phil Hellmuth made it 4,500 preflop.
One shorter opponent shoved with and Hellmuth called holding 
. The 
flop gave Hellmuth the lead and although they both made flushes on the 
run out, Hellmuth's was bigger.
Meanwhile, one table over, it appears Maria Ho has won every hand in her new seat. She just felted another shorty and is climbing the leaderboard fast.

Maria Ho bet into Dustin Goldklang on a turn of a board reading 
, making it 11,500.
Goldklang gave it a moment’s thought before moving all in for close to 40,000. It was Ho’s turn to think for a short while before she mucked her cards, and Goldklang survived the encounter without seeing the river.
