Players are now on a 20-minute break so the tournament staff can race off the green T25 chips. When they return, one more level will be played before calling it a night.
Ought of pure curiosity, we decided to do a lap around the room and do a quick head count . . . as to how many players are wearing hats. With approximately 198 players remaining, we counted an assortment of 28 hats. They include mainly baseball caps, but we also spotted a cowboy hat.
Vanessa Hellebuyck, our defending champion of last year's Ladies Event, has been eliminated.
We missed the action but are being told that Hellebuyck bet 2,800 on a flop into a lone opponent. Her opponent raised to 7,000, Hellebuyck pushed all in and she was called.

The turn and river failed to improve Hellebuyck and her tournament life was put to an end.
The third-last male competitor in the field has just been cheered off after being crushed at the hands of Ruby Du, who is still piling up a stack worth more than 60,000.
All the money was in the middle on a flop that read (two clubs); the gentleman moved his chips in with for the flush draw, but Du called him down with for top pair.
The turn and river came running , , but with neither one of those cards being a club, the ladies were able to stick it to The Man once again.
To quote tournament supervisor Bob Smith: "Another one bites the dust!"

Kirsty Chick has just been sent to the rail at the hands of Dee Strayski, who is now on more than 25,000 in chips.
As Wooka Kim recalled to us, Chick got the last of her money into the middle with , but lost the flip to Strayski's after she caught running kings full of aces. And that, as they say, was that.

We caught up with the action on a flop, where Gretchen Brummer and Lily Newhouse apparently got into a small raising war with Brummer being the first to go all-in for her last 11,000. Newhouse fell hard into the tank.
"What did I get myself into?" she said.
Newhouse eventually mucked and Brummer tabled .
Newhouse is down to 9,000 while Brummer has risen to 35,000.

A woman under the gun raised to 1,600 and action folded around to a short-stacked Pam Wilson on the button. She thought for a moment before sliding in her entire stack of 3,175. The blind got out of the way and the UTG player made the call.
UTG:
Wilson:
Wilson had been patient waiting for a hand, but unfortunately the one time she did, she ran into the second-best hand in poker. The flop gave some runner-runner straight options to Wilson, but the turn quickly dashed them. In order to stay alive, Wilson needed one of the red fives on the river. The dealer burned and put out the . It was close, but just one pip shy. Wilson has been eliminated from the tournament.
