Level: 14
Blinds: 1,200/2,400
Ante: 2,400
With 155 players left, the tournament director just announced that play will now progress hand for hand.
After two hands the tournament is only four minutes deeper into Level 14, but the players have been taking their time and there were a couple of big pots.
In the last hand, there was a chop pot which resulted in no elimination, so play continued hand for hand.
The flop was showing 
and there was already more than 100,000 in the middle. After a check from his opponent, Kevin Song fired a bet for 55,000, putting his opponent into a big decision.
After a few minutes of thinking, the latter ended up calling, but tossed his hand into the muck when Song tabled 
. Song now has a huge stack worth 330,000.

Gerald Lee and Luciano Hollanda had their chips in the middle, but had to wait for several minutes before they were allowed to turn their hands on their backs. There were no other all-ins and all the hands on the other tables were done when Lee saw he had to win a coin flip.
Gerald Lee: 
Luciano Hollanda: 
The dealer dealt an 
board and Lee was eliminated in 154th place, just one spot away from the money.
All the players that are still in are guaranteed $4,513.
