No Eliminations Yet

Surprisingly, we're now thirty-five minutes into the last set of matches without an elimination. There were two recent all-in bets called, but each resulted in a double-up. Barry Greenstein doubled through PokerStars qualifier Blandino Gines, by holding a straight against Gines' smaller straight; Joe Hachem's {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} couldn't overtake John Juanda's {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} after the flop came {A-Spades} {K-Spades} - X. The board blanked from there.
