An early massacre here as the screens only show 161 players left, meaning we have lost 17 players in as many minutes.
The latest casualty was caused by Andrew Teng who increased his stack to 385,000 in the process. Teng raised with then called the all-in of Russell Spaid, who held . A queen-high board without hit for either player saw the Brit rake in the chips.

Two of the more talkative players in the game find themselves seated next to one another at Table 440. Maurice Hawkins is sitting in Seat 1 and Dwyte Pilgrim is to his left in Seat 2. Hawkins found himself with a near triple-up early on, then would add a few more chips to his stack shortly thereafter.
Hawkins opened the action to 17,000 then called an all-in reraise of a short stack. Hawkins had and his opponent held , but Hawkins took the lead when the flop came . The on the turn would give Hawkins's opponent more outs, but the river was the to give Hawkins a full house.
The hand before that saw Scott O'Reilly open the action for 17,000 and Hawkins call. Pilgrim raised it to 73,000 and O'Reilly moved all in. Hawkins joked "am I even here. Do these two see me here?" before folding. Pilgrim quickly called tabling . O'Reilly held .

Pilgrim was down to just 3,000 late last night and now has moved over the half-million mark in chips.
Garrett Greer got himself a double-up after raising from under the gun. He was in a hand with Andrew Dick and check-raised all in after the flop. Dick eventually made the call with while mumbling "I was hoping for ace-king," but Greer showed him instead. Both the turn and the river bricked, and Greer shipped the double.

We get to the table and there were three players in the hand with Christopher Mazzawi at risk and 367,000 in the pot. The flop came and Jorden Fox checked. Darwin Giles moved all in for his last 149,000 and Fox folded. Giles took back his chips and turned over for top pair. Mazzawi also had top pair but his kicker was better as he held .
