We've just spotted Geoff Rasmussen in the Orange section, sitting pretty with 255,000 chips. That looks like the stack to beat for now, and the chase is on.

You might recall Rolf Slotboom from Day 1a and we certainly didn’t forget him as he’s still got his box of Tic-Tacs on top of his stack and is wearing his same mirrored visor glasses. He’s also got some sort of glass rock that he’s using as a card protector.
Anyways, Slotboom raised to 3,600 in the cutoff and Estelle Denis three-bet to 10,500 from the small blind. Slotboom went into the tank and rechecked his cards several times in between shuffling and cutting out chips. After a few minutes, Slotboom eventually four-bet and Denis quickly moved all in. Slotboom shuffled some chips for a few seconds more before he made the call and the players turned up their hands.
Slotboom: 
Denis: 
The board provided no help to Denis as it ran out 
. After it was counted out, Denis had 29,600 total while Slotboom had 1,000 less so he doubled up and Denis was crippled.

Level 7
: 300/600, 75 ante
Action folded to the button andhe raised to 1,325. Paul Pierce called from the small blind before adjusting himself in his chair, taking a swig from his Red Bull and then getting ready for the flop. While this was happening, the big blind also called.
The flop came down 
. Pierce and the big blind checked before the button bet 2,150. Pierce and the big blind folded.
Matt Hawrilenko has fallen back a bit after he paid off bets of 2,000 and 2,300 on the turn and river of a 
board. His opponent turned over 
and Hawrilenko gave him the 'thumbs up' sign before mucking his hand.

Level 7
: 300/600, 75 ante
Jason Mercier opened the pot with a raise to 1,200 from the hijack seat before play folded around to the player in the big blind. That player reraised to 3,200. Mercier then four-bet to 7,150. His opponent tanked for a bit, asked Mercier how much he had behind, which was about 25,000, and then folded his hand.

"Play with me vato."
After Brad Garret attempted to tip the dealer a 100 tournament chip from winning a pot.
"Straddle!"
"Dinner in my room tonight guys. I want to get to know each other better. You seem like a nice bunch."
"I keep hearing this voice..."
"Hey buddy, can you unplug your shirt for me for a minute?"
To a guy wearing an exceptionally colorful shirt.
We noticed Chris Moorman was short stacked with only 11,000 not long ago and although we missed the hand that did him in, we can confirm that his seat is now vacant and he has been eliminated from the tournament.
