One More Hour to Go

It took us a little while to get through Level 8 as it was interrupted by a ninety-minute dinner break, but we got there.
As always, we took in a lot of all in situations, with many well-known players getting knocked out. Those who weren't lucky enough to be invited back for Day 3 include Layne Flack, Dan Kelly, Chris Ferguson, Roy Winston, Jon Little, Marco Traniello, Freddy Deeb, George Lind, Darvin Moon, JC Tran, Gavin Griffin, Alexander Kravchenko and Shane Schleger.
Of course, the biggest elimination of the evening was that of ten-time bracelet winner Doyle Brunson. His pocket sevens failed to best another player's pocket jacks and Brunson left the Amazon Room with a standing ovation from those still inside.
Gabriel Walls started the day off on top of the chip counts, but fell by 94,000 just before the end of the level and is now sitting with 316,000. That leaves David Assouline playing the title role in this game of king of the castle with 320,000 chips - not too bad considering he missed the first half of the level thinking the color up was dinner break.
Other players making moves include Vanessa Selbst who now has 240,000, Vincent Jacques with 222,000, JJ Liu with 190,000 and Phil Galfond with 173,000.
We've got one more hour of poker left to play before the entire field converges for Day 3 on Monday.
