Table 1 - Heads Up | 2007 World Series of Poker

With the elimination of Marwan Abdel-Al, Sondre Sangstuen and Todd Keikoan are now playing heads up at Table 1 -- sort of.

The two players decided to take a break, so they did. But since this event is running at multiple tables, the cards must still be dealt. So the floorperson came over and instructed the dealer to continue dealing the hands as they swapped blinds back and forth for as long as the players were on break. The net result will be zero, but the hands must still be dealt.

The important consideration is that the clock continues to run, so if they take an extended break (and aren't brokering a deal), they will have less time to play at this level of blinds.

Here are the current chip counts:

Seat 5 - Sondre Sagstuen - 132,000
Seat 8 - Todd Keikoan - 138,000
