With the board showing 405 players remaining, we are four away from the money.
Play has not yet gone hand-for-hand.
Eric Van Der Burg was a little chilly sitting at his table and asked to borrow a jacket from PokerNews.
We were happy to oblige and since then, Van Der Burg has run his chip stack up among the leaders.
He was just seen collecting a massive pot and has nearly 400,000 on the bubble, more than three times the chip average.
This begs the question, is the PokerNews run-good real?
