Players have taken their seats and will play for another hour and twenty-seven minutes before bagging and tagging.
Tony Dunst has managed to gain some much needed chips and it's all because of arguably the prettiest hand in the game - 
, rivaled in beauty by perhaps only two black aces.
When we arrived at the table there was already a flop showing 
and Dunst already had all his chips out in front of him. His one opponent eventually opted to call and turned over 
. When the turn and river bricked Dunst's hand was strong enough to take down the double-up as he now sits with a healthy stack.

We found Lars Bonding calling the all in of a short stacked player who moved his last 5,775 into the middle. The flop read 
and Bonding held 
for top pair. Bonding was outkicked by his opponent, however, who held .
The turn and river came 
and 
respectively, making Bonding's opponent's pair of queens with a ten kicker the best hand. Bonding is now down to roughly 17,500.

"Guess i'm just getting good at winning flips," said Matt Jarvis after the following hand played out.
A middle position player opened it up to 1,200 and Jarvis then three-bet shoved from the big blind. It was a total of 12,025 to the player and after some thought he tumbled in in his chip stack.
Jarvis:
Opponent: 
The flop was a very nice looking one for Jarvis, with the dealer spreading 
along the felt. The 
on the turn changed nothing and the 
on the river sealed the deal for Jarvis has he took the double.

On a flop of

Fourth street came the and Juanda's opponent checked for a second time. Juanda continued with his aggression, betting 2,450. His opponent peeled one chip at a time off of his stack for a call.
The river brought the and Juanda's opponent rapped the table once more. Juanda checked behind, allowing his opponent to table 
for a rivered straight. Juanda laughed and shook his head, showing the to the table. While this is a slight hit to JJ's stack, he is still sitting pretty with 67,500.

Matt Jarvis has just been spotted having a late dinner on the rail and therefore it's safe to assume the 2010 November Nine member has busted this tournament.

Over at Isaac Haxton's table a player in the hijack opened for 1,400. Haxton sitting in the cut off quickly raised and made it 3,100. A call was deposited in the middle and both players were witness to a 
flop.
It was here that the hijack managed to get all in against Haxton. Haxton's 
looked to have a stranglehold on his opponent's 
, but a 
on the turn brought a flush draw to the hijack. Haxton didn't have to worry about the flush though becaue a 
landed on the river forfeiting himself from the shortstack's chips.
