flipped up and a board of 
on the table. Lieu lost the hand and sent over 55,000 to his opponent. Lieu went down to a short stack of 18,000.
Just before the break Brandon Cantu and Michael Rocco clashed in a pot with a little bit of banter afterwards. Rocco won the pot but Cantu wasn't to eager to show his hand in that pot.
Just now they battled it out again but this time they both were eager to show their hands. Brandon Cantu opened to 5,500 from the hijack/under the gun plus one position and Michael Rocco made it 16,600 from the button. After Erick Lindgren and Daniel Negreanu folded their blinds, Cantu inquired about the size of Rocco's stack. Rocco lifted up his arms and Cantu knew enough: all in. Rocco called instantly and they had to table their hands:
| Michael Rocco |  |
| Brandon Cantu |   |
The board ran out as followed:

.
"One of these days, I'll hit," Rocco said.
"Not today!" Cantu snap replied as he started stacking the chips.
Matt Waxman opened to 3,200 out of the cutoff, Jason Mercier moved all in for 23,800 in the big blind, and Waxman called.
Waxman: 
Mercier: 
Waxman had Mercier dominated, and remained ahead when the flop fell 
. The 
turned, giving Waxman two pair, but Mercier could chop the pot if the river brought a ten, because both players would have aces and tens with a nine kicker. The 
on the river changed nothing though, and Mercier was eliminated.
"I've always wanted to knock Jason Mercier out of a tournament," Waxman said, grinning after the hand.
Matt Salsberg was first to act, and he open-shoved for 16,700. Brent Hanks re-shoved for 20,500 in the cutoff, and the rest of the players folded.
Salsberg:
Hanks:
Salsberg held as the board came 
, doubling to 34,000 chips. After the hand, Salsberg said that it is his peak for the tournament.
Meanwhile, Hanks was short, and was all in a few hands later with

.
Oleksander Gnatenko had a 3-bet of 15,300 in front of him when we came to the table. His opponent went all in and Gnatenko called.
Gnatenko:
Opponent: 
The board ran out 
and with that Gnatenko eliminated his opponent and jumped in the counts to over 181,000.
And just like that we lost another player and the players are in the money. Before the hand for hand situation could start Tristan Wade lost his chips. He started the level with ten big blinds but couldn't make a comeback. He lost his chips with king queen against pocket eights.
The remaining 68 players are now guaranteed $4,694.
Eddy Sabat was all in for 18,800 just now with the pocket rockets/American Airlines/Weapons of Mass Destruction: . His opponent had not to bad a hand himself: . The board was kept clean of kings though, so Sabat would double:

We are now two players away from the money. Fort Lauderdale's Josh Hillock eliminated one player preflop holding against .
The player made a pair of aces when the dealer fanned 
, but the gave Hillock an unbeatable flush. The 
completed the board, and the player was eliminated.
On an adjacent table, another player busted with unknown action.
THe shuffle machines are now being used so the tournament will just a little bit quicker. It's almost bubble though, so that might slow it down again a bit.
