Change of Pace

Now that we are in the money, the action has gone from glacial to breakneck. We have lost 12 players in two minutes and cries of "Lost one!" can be heard throughout the room.

The Bubble Has Burst

Applause just broke out here in the Amazon Room, as the Tournament Director made the announcement that all remaining players are officially in the money.

We anticipate a series of rapid eliminations within the next 10 minutes, so be sure to check our Prizepool and Payouts section for a complete list of all players who finish in the money.

Some Advice

We just completed another hand and didn't lose a player. The Tournament Director made an announcement: "Remember players, this is No-Limit Hold'em -- you may push your chips in at any time."

It certainly eased the tension a little.

We've finally moved on to the next hand. With three eliminations left until the money, we could be here awhile.

Slow Going

Unofficially, the hand in progress may be the longest hand in WSOP history. We've been waiting for the Tournament Director to give the go-ahead to deal the next hand, but it's taking an eternity.

327 players remain.

Tough Decision?

As the bubble fast approaches, some players are finding decisions difficult. A player on one table took 15 minutes to act on his hand, and with quite a few short stacks on the table, it seemed no one was willing to call the clock on him. Reason eventually prevailed and the Tournament Director counted down his hand and declared it dead.
