Paul Volpe and Ryan Hughes just entered the tournament in the minutes before the players went on a 15-minute break.

Hughes is the leader in the WSOP Player of the Year standings, and one of the players he's looking to hold off is third-place John Monnette, currently in the chip lead here. That will be an interesting subplot to watch as this tournament rolls on.

Violette Busted by Shack-Harris

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Brandon Shack-Harris: {x-}{x-}/{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}/{x-}
Cyndy Violette: {x-}{x-}/{a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}/{x-}

Facing a bet from Brandon Shack-Harris on seventh street that would put her all in, Cyndy Violette took just a moment before putting the rest of her chips into the middle.

Shack-Harris tabled {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a flush, and Violette was eliminated.

Deeb Rocketing Up the Counts

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Three players checked sixth street with the following boards, each having some strong possibilities:

Todd Brunson: {x-}{x-}/{5-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Felipe Ramos: {x-}{x-}/{7-Spades}{9-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Shaun Deeb: {x-}{x-}/{j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}

On the river, Deeb bet and got called by Brunson. Ramos thought for about 30 seconds and mucked.

"Very thin," Deeb said. "Queens up."

He revealed {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a flush, and Brunson did not appear amused. Ramos flashed {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for his own queens in the hole.

"I guess I got lucky then," Deeb said with a smile.

At a neighboring table, Jean "Prince" Gaspard grabbed a seat.

Obst Cut in Half

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

With what looked to be about 40,000 in the middle on sixth street, James Obst was in a battle with a single opponent.

Obst: {x-}{x-}/{k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}/{x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-}/[7dc9h9d]/{x-}

Obst bet, and his opponent called. Obst check-called a bet on seventh and mucked when his opponent tabled {6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

Adam Owen bet into John Monnette with an ace-high board on sixth street, and Monnette raised. Owen thought for a bit and called, then called a river bet, as well.

Monnette: {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{j-Spades}/{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Owen: {x-}{x-}{x-}/{a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}

Owen mucked his hand and dropped to less than half of a starting stack after recently sitting down.
