Tony Hachem, from earlier in the Main Event
Michael Traficante is out. His {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} lost a race against J.P. Kelly's {7-Diamonds} {7-Spades} when the board ran out {5-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}.

Tony Hachem is also out. He was the one holding {7-Diamonds} {7-Spades} against Karen Mengden's {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}. This time, Big Slick was the winner when the board came {2-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {k-Clubs} {4-Clubs}.

Scott Clements was all-in preflop holding A-K against his opponent's pocket tens. The board ran {7-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {K-Spades} and Clements spiked a king to stay alive. He's now up to 85,000.

Adding to the Pile

Jeremiah Smith just picked up another mound of chips when he eliminated a player with {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} to his opponent's {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}. A queen on the turn gave Smith a full house and left his opponent drawing dead, and Jeremiah's now up to 450,000.

Evelyn Ng Takes a Hit

[user37786]
Not that there's ever a good time to run into pocket aces, but Evelyn Ng was all in preflop with pocket jacks against a short stack's aces and the bullets held up. The good news for Evelyn is that despite the loss she still has a 150,000 stack.

Dutch Boyd = Clark Kent?

Dutch Boyd has entered into the Orange section and is walking around each table, glancing over players and watching some of the action take place.

At first, one might ask why they're letting a non-player walk through the tournament area. However, Dutch is wearing a media badge which happens to be allowing him uninterrupted access to the players.

Dutch is wearing his typical attire: sunglasses, baggy clothes, do-rag and all. We're not sure exactly what he's reporting on, or who he's reporting to.

Timmah!

Marco Savoni got his remaining chips into the pot preflop holding {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}. He got action only from Tim "Tmay420" West, who showed down {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}.

The board came out {10-?} {3-?} {5-?} {Q-?} {K-?} with no flush for either player. West hit his queen, and he delivers the death blow to Savoni. With the win, Tmay420 has chipped up to 235,000.

The Ecstasy and the Agony

[user37786]

Before the flop Darrell Dicken found himself all in with {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} against the {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} of Edward Zane. But Dicken turned the tables on the {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {3-Diamonds} flop and suddenly it was Zane who was looking to hit his two-outer.

Which, no doubt to Dicken's dismay, Zane did on the turn, as he caught the {A-Diamonds}. Dicken needed the case queen on the river to reverse the reversal of fortune, but instead it was the {K-Hearts} that fell and Dicken was eliminated. Zane is now up to 200,000.
