Jiri {9-Spades}

Hans

The board came {10-Diamonds}

and Jiri Vacek is our 23rd place finisher.

Play Slows as Dinner Approaches

Since Daniel Mangas was eliminated in 24th position, play has slowed down somewhat. This is unusual as the next few payouts are all the same and we normally see a rash of bustouts as people take chances to move up the chip ladder. We have lost 17 players during today's play thus far.

Chip counts have been updated.
