Blinds: 150-300 with a 25 ante
Players Remaining: 74 out of 78 (Approximately)
Notable Chip Counts:
Dario Minieri — 112,000

Average Chip Count: 52,702
Notable Eliminations:

Scott Seiver
Big Hands:
Jason Mercier Gets Some Back
 Jason Mercier rasied to 750 from the cutoff and Scott Seiver called on the button. Daniel Negreanu called from the small blind and the three players saw a flop of A Q9.
Seiver bet 800 and Negreanu folded. Mercier called and the turn was the 8. Seiver bet 1,025 and Mercier called.
The river was the J and both players checked. Mercier showed A 10 and Seiver mucked, saying “bigger than mine.” He later mentioned that he flopped a flush with the 76.
Seiver is down to 41,000 and Mercier has rebounded from his earlier loss back up to 23,000. Seiver was eliminated later on in the level, though details are unknown. He made the final table in this event last year.
 Poorya Nazari Chips Up
Poorya Nazari raised to 800 and was called by Brett Richey and another player on the button. The flop came down A77 and everyone checked.
The turn was the 9 and Nazari bet 3,300. Richey called and the river was the J. Nazari bet 7,050 and Richey folded, giving the 2009 PCA Champion the pot.
Nazari is trying to mimic Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, who won the Main Event in 2008 and followed that up with a High Roller win in 2009.
