Before the last level of the night begins, the tournament staff has paused the clock in order to race off the black T100 chips. With roughly 300 still in contention, the processes could take a little bit giving the players an impromptu break.
The player under the gun opened for 2,700 and found three callers which included Andrew Heckman from the cutoff before the player in the big blind three-bet jammed.
Only Heckman called and the two players tabled their hands.
Opponent:
Andrew Heckman:
It was a classic race with Heckman looking to stay in the lead and he did after the board ran out.

Just before registration closed, Pittsburgh's Nick Rigby jumped into the tournament. According to him, he did so after some good luck at the blackjack tables.
"I never satellites a main by playing blackjack," he said with a big smile.
While he wasn't the last player to register the tournament, he was close to it. Only time will tell if jumping in so late will work to his advantage.
