Most of the tables are still six-handed or better but there are a handful of tables that are now short-handed including one table that has Michael Mizrachi, Victor Ramdin, and Shannon Shorr. Another table in the Pavilion is heads-up and Joseph Cheong is dominating his table with 20,000 in chips as they play four-handed.
Phil Ivey's seat is empty as his former table plays with just three. The tournament clock shows 948 as the number of entries. We'll have the prize pool and payout information posted here as soon as it becomes available.
Shannon Shorr in his own words "ran good" overcoming a chip deficit to Michael Mizrachi to win his table and advance to the next round. The last hand saw Shorr eliminate Mizrachi and Victor Ramdin when he flopped a flush draw against Mizrachi's open-ended straight draw and Ramdin's top pair. Shorr would hit the flush on the turn to end it.
