The players are now on a one-hour dinner break. When they return, they'll play two more levels before bagging and tagging for the night. In the meantime, watch an interview with Gus Hansen we shot earlier today:
Heimiller's final hand came in limit hold'em when he got his chips in with against Grospellier's . The board ran out and that was all she wrote for Heimiller. No winner, winner, so no chicken dinner.
Joe Hachem: / /
Brian Hastings: / /
Jonathan Duhamel: / /
We caught Hachem firing on fourth, Hastings raising and Duhamel coming along for the ride. The same thing went down on fifth and sixth, but when Hachem and Hastings checked seventh, Duhamel fired out a bet.
Hachem tank-called, Hastings obliged and when Duhamel showed to take the high and Hastings felted to take the low, Hachem mucked.
Melissa Burr raised to 4,500 and Elior Sion called from her left, Brian Tate called from the small blind and Dan Heimiller contemplated his next move from the big blind. Heimiller only had 1,600 chips left behind if he would make the call. Eventually, he did.
The flop brought out and the action was checked to Burr who bet 6,500 and only Heimiller, who was all in for his tournament life, made the call.

The board ran out , and Heimiller stayed alive a bit longer, but he still may be in trouble.
Bryan Micon joins the PokerNews Podcast at the top of the show to talk about bitcoins, outstanding debts and much more. Rich, Jason, and Donnie then talk about a bevy of stories in the final half of the episode, including all of the recent bracelet winners, the fight between Brandon Cantu and Jesse Martin, and more.
Matt Glantz raised from under the gun and then called when Josh Arieh three-bet from the big blind. Arieh stood pat, Glantz drew two, and then it went bet-call.
Arieh stood pat once again, Glantz drew one, and again Arieh bet. Glantz raised. Arieh called and both players stood pat, then checked.
Glantz tabled an 8-6-5-3-2 low, but it wasn't quite good enough as Arieh had been dealt a pat 8-6-4-3-2 low.
