Jack Lyman, who would totally win first prize in a Andre Akkari lookalike contest, has just doubled up to around 34,000 after being all-in with 
against Mia Liu's 
and hitting the nut flush on the 
board.
November NIner Matthew Jarvis raised from the button and Allen Kessler reraised from the big blind. Jarvis moved all in and Kessler folded, dropping to 10,600. Two hands later, Kessler shoved in from the button and everyone folded.
Song Lee opened to 2,100 under the gun, and the table folded all the way back around to the blinds. In the small, Francesco Fama moved all in for 6,300, and Lee made the call to put him at risk.
Lee was working with 
, and Fama proudly tabled . There wasn't too much for him to sweat as the board ran out safe: 
. Aces hold for the young man, and he's doubled his way back into contention with more than 14,000 now.
Mia Liu was all in preflop with the 
against Stephen Chidwick's 
. The board ran out 
and Chidwick won the pot and moved up to 49,000 in chips. Liu was eliminated.
Keith "The Camel" Hawkins opened to 2,400 under the gun, and Massimiliano Mauceri made the call to see a flop. It came 
, and the rest of Mauceri's 13,100 chips all got into the middle. Hawkins was more than happy to match him with , but he would soon find out that Mauceri's surprise had out-flopped him in a big way. Mauceri let out a beastly celebration.
Neither the turn nor the river could produce an ace for Hawkins, and he has glumly shipped a double up over to the Italian, who pounded his fist on the felt just for good measure. He's over 30,000 now, maybe just a few chips ahead of Hawkins now.
It's a disaster of epic proportions for Andrew Lichtenberger, so much so that Michael Bay could make a film about it.
Dean Sanders motioned us to his table where Lichtenberger had got all in with 
against Paul Pitchford's 
. The board came 
and a monster 100,000+ chip pot went the way of Pitchford.
It's probably not the way Lichtenberger wanted to spend his birthday.

According to WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel, it shouldn't take more than nine levels today to reach the final table. Effel figures nine max and it might even be less than that, having to only play eight levels. Sounds good to us.
Right now, there's 59 players left and they seems to be dropping at a nice, steady rate. Keep it up everyone.
Kaveh Payman was in the big blind, and he was on the phone as the table began to fold its way around to him. In late position, Toby Lewis open-shoved all in for 13,600, and the action came to Payman. He put his phone down for a minute, and Lewis asked the dealer that his hand be killed, since the rules prohibit talking on the phone during a hand. Payman insisted that his hand should play since he was not actually speaking on the phone while it was his turn. The floor came over and ruled that the hand would be live, but Payman would be given a one-hand penalty on the next hand. Payman instantly called Lewis' shove to put him at risk.
Showdown
Lewis: 
Payman:
The flop was an exciting one as it came out 
to leave the outcome undecided with two cards to come. The turn, however, ended all the drama. The filled Lewis up to a full house, securing his double up and drawing a frustrated reaction from Payman. From the rail, his friend said, "What a f***in' goof..." Payman himself gave Lewis a long, uncomfortably mean stare, but the chips do the talking, and Lewis has twice as many now as he did just a moment ago. He's back to about 29,000, while Payman gets to take one hand off. He's still at about 47,000 and doing just fine.
