Two more hours of poker are in the books at the WSOP Main Event and 729 of today's 2,412 starters have already seen their Main Event dreams come to an end. Two former world champions--Berry Johnston and Tom McEvoy--exited this level along with Andre Akkari, Liz Lieu, Amnon Filippi, David "The Dragon" Pham, and Haralabos Voulgaris.
On the other end of the spectrum, Dragan Galic and Robert Mizrachi are still one-two in the chip counts. This level saw the rise of Yevgeniy Timoshenko, who won a series of pots to take him up to 220,000 as well as Cole South, who doubled up with a set of aces over a set of nines to take his stack up to 223,000. Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi was also able to reclaim some lost chips, taking his stack from 50,000 to 97,000 in this level.
This break will be a bit longer than the usual 20 minutes, as there is a massive color-up scheduled. All of the green 25-denomination chips will be removed from play, so expect action to pick back up in about half an hour.
