The remaining 115 players in the field have dispersed for a 20-minute break and will return to action looking to break the money bubble. Check in with PokerNews to see who cashes and who goes home empty handed.
Livello: 13
Bui: /
Ante:
The floor was called to Table 296 after Adam Friedman and a few other players at the table accused an unknown player, who is currently riding a very short stack, of stalling every time the action was on him.
Friedman told the floorman that this player was taking an inordinate amount of time to make every decision on every street of every hand. For his part, the player, who requested anonymity "until he makes the money" told PokerNews that he was "only taking 20 seconds to make a decision," and that taking time to think was his right as a player.
During the recent break both Friedman, who tells us his mother is a dedicated reader of PokerNews live updates, and the unnamed player talked things over and any hostility that may have existed has been quashed for the time being. With only 12 eliminations left until players cash in this event, we will be sure to monitor the situation to see if stalling becomes an issue again.
Razz:
Carlos Mortensen was involved in a hand of razz with an unknown opponent.
Mortensen: (X)(X) - 
- (X)
Opponent: (X)(X) - 
- (X)
On fourth and fifth streets, Mortensen checked and called bets of 3,000 by his opponent. On sixth street, Mortensen checked once more and his opponent again bet 3,000 chips, but this time the Matador check-raised to 6,000 and the opponent made the call.
When the last down cards were delivered on seventh street, the opponent checked and Mortensen fired 3,000 more into the middle. His opponent made the call and tabled the 
for a 7-6-5-4-2, taking the pot. Mortensen was left with around 36,000 after the hand.

Stud:
We caught up with the action on sixth street as Ylon Schwartz and an unknown opponent played a heads-up pot.
Schwartz: (X)(X) - 
- (X)
Opponent: (X)(X) - 
- (X)
On sixth street, with a sizable pot already being contested, Schwartz' opponent fired a bet of 3,000 and the mixed-game specialist made the call. The dealer flipped each player their final down card on seventh street and Schwartz checked it, prompting another bet of 3,000 by his opponent. Schwartz, who finished 18th in the $3,000 H.O.R.S.E event at the 2009 WSOP, appeared discouraged by the bet but decided to look his man up.
His opponent immediately showed his down cards, 
for trip eights and Schwartz mucked his hand.

Stud-8:
We got there just as the hand wrapped up, but here's what we can tell you. These are their hands in no particular order:
Bari: 
Baker: 
Mortensen: 
Bari and Baker each had the same straight, besting Mortensen's two pair to send him to the rail.

Razz:
We caught the action as David Bach and one opponent played a heads-up hand of razz.
Bach: (X)(X) - 
- (X)
Opponent: (X)(X) - - (X)
On fourth street Bach bet 3,000 chips and his opponent raised to 6,000. Bach made the call and on fifth street the opponent led out for 3,000, which was called by Bach. The action repeated itself on sixth street and after receiving their final down cards on seventh street, both players checked it down.
Bach flipped up his for an 8-6-2-4-A, while his opponent showed the for an 8-7-6-4-A. Bach's holding was good and he now has over 88,000 chips as we begin hand-for-hand play.
Stud:
Todd Brunson and a lone opponent were involved in a hand of seven card stud.
Brunson: (X)(X) - 
- (X)
Opponent: (X)(X) - 
- (X)
We caught up with the action on fifth street, after Brunson bet 3,000 and his opponent called. On sixth street Brunson led out again and his opponent came along. After the last down cards were delivered by the dealer, both players checked and we went to a showdown. Brunson tabled the (X) for two pair, jacks and eights, and his opponent threw his hand towards the muck.
Brunson chipped up to 68,000 on the hand as we await one more elimination before the remaining players make the money.
