We are now officially on the bubble with 821 players remaining. They will be dealing hand-for-hand until two more players are eliminated.
A trio of big names are looking comfortable here on the money bubble. Jason Wheeler is sat with 78,000 and Dan O'Brien 81,000. Add both Wheeler's and O'Brien's stack together and it still comes up short against Seidman's mammoth 210,000.

We've been informed that Greg Mueller made a big fold a few moments ago when his opponent four-bet all-in. Mueller was left with a decision for his tournament life, and it was a tough one because he held the third best starting hand in hold'em in pocket queens.
Mueller opted to look for a better spot to get his chips into the middle and folded.
We are officially in the money here at the Millionaire Maker. Two players were eliminated and will split the minimum cash equally. We'll have details of the two hands shortly.
Ping Liu opened the action to 4,000 and a very short stacked Anthony Harb decided his hand was good enough to risk not making the money. He moved all in for 8,600. Liu knew he was behind but Harb's raise was not enough to get him to fold. The two waited an agonizing 5 minutes as the tournament staff waited until they had all at risk players determined. The hands were already known as the players had shown them - for Liu and for Harb. Finally the go ahead was given and the dealer was instructed to put out the flop.
It came to give Liu a set of fives and a dejected Harb knew he would need a minor miracle to stay alive. The turn was a miracle, but not one that Harb wanted as it was the last five in the deck to give Liu quads. The river was a meaningless and Harb stood around to see if any other players were eliminated.
The second all in situation occurred over in the Tan section where Hans Winzeler raised to 2,500 pre flop and called a 6,000 three-bet from Jeff Dumas. On the flop, Dumas checked, Winzeler bet 8,000 and Dumas moved all in for an additional 15,000. Winzeler called and the hands were revealed after the aforementioned delay:
Winzeler:
Dumas:
The turn changed nothing but the river delivered the flush for Winzeler. Dumas and Harb would split the 819th place prize money, for $1,346 apiece. Harb, a 2009 WSOP bracelet winner, will have to come back another day to make a run at his 2nd piece of jewelry.
Kevin Allen was cruising along but is now extremely short on chips after losing a huge.
All was all in on the board and his opponent eventually called, showing as he did so. Allen flipped over and needed a ten, six or jack to avoid losing the vast majority of his stack. The river was the and the kings held, leaving Allen with around 7,000 chips.

British star Jake Cody has busted inside the money at the hands of Ashly Butler.
Cody was all-in for 5,700 from the cutoff and received a call from the small blind. Butler, in the big blind, raised to 13,700 and after much dwelling the small blind folded.
Butler:
Cody:
"I'm quite good at these!" said Cody with a smile.
The flop was extremely safe for Butler, although the turn caused a few raised eyebrows as it gave Cody outs to a straight. Those outs failed to materialize as the was the river card.
"When can you late register for the $1k?" asked Cody.
Upon discovering you can register to the end of level six, Cody headed to the registration desk.
