In late position, Jude Ainsworth open-shoved all in for 16,800 total, and Darryll Fish made the call directly next door. In the big blind, though, Richard Gryko squeezed all in over the top, pushing out his stack of more than 110,000. That had Fish (62,000) covered, and he eventually decided a fold was in order, letting the other two go at it heads-up.
Showdown
Ainsworth:

Ainsworth was in trouble, and the dealer provided him no salvation on the board. He's out, and Gryko moves up to about 150,000 as he stacks that pot.
Michael Shelton shoved all 25,600 of his chips in from under the gun, and Kyle Keranen made the call with his mountain of chips and . Shelton was flipping for double or nothing with .

O'Dwyer ended up making the call which was basically for all his stack as well and he showed to the of Pycior and they were off to the races.
It wasn't much of a race though as there was an ace in the door on the flop. The turn and river didn't help Pycior and he hit the rail. O'dywer broke the 100,000 mark after the hand with 110,000.
Players are being eliminated left and right now that the bubble has burst, so our numbers will be dropping quickly here as we approach the dinner break.
Matthew Berkey raised from early position making it 4,000 to anyone who wanted to see a flop. He received to takers Sudhakara Kattamuri, and David Pham. The dealer put out three cards and they came . After Pham checked Berkey put out a 6,500 bet. Kattamuri folded and Pham called.

First into the pot from the button, Terrence Chan figured was good enough to commit his last 19,300 chips. In the small blind, John Eames took a long, hard look at both stacks before reraising to 51,500 to isolate himself against the at-risk short stack. He turned over , and both men shrugged as if they were content with the way the cards lay.
The first four cards off the deck were to swap Chan's outs, and he now needed a five or a king to stick around.
