It's All Over
Tournament Guru Mr Steve Frezer has announced bagging-up time. There'll be a new seat draw tomorrow, and full details of those who've cashed so far will magically appear overnight.
Some last-minute action, though -- Danny Carlton ran his K-J into Bobby Law's Kings and fell by the wayside, and David Singer has finished the day on a frankly obscene 124,800. Even more obscene is the fact that Mr Singer has cashed twice today -- first in the $1,500 NLHE this morning, and now in the PLHE. Amazing stuff. -

Eugene On the Rampage
Eugene Todd knocked out an unknown opponent, all in preflop with Todd holding
on the button and the unknown gent holding 
in the big blind.
An Ace-less 
board later, and we have a man down, going home with $2,725 for consolation.
By the way we understand that the full details of all those who made it into the money will be with us overnight. -

Ready Teddy Go
The first in-the-money exit is Ted Leva who, although relieved to have cashed in this event, will simultaneously have been disappointed not to have ventured further. Pushing in his remaining 4,200 prelfop with

The Actual Bubble Bursts
Our unfortunate bubbler who will be going home with absolutely nothing was Karl Westheimer. He shoved with K-5 and was called by Michael Ketz holding K-9, which held up on the A-3-6-K-J board. It was a move which proved Karl-amitous.
