Joseph Cheong got all his stack of 600,000 in preflop with A-Q suited but unfortunately ran into chip leader Phil Collins’ pocket aces. The aces held and Collins was at nearly 9 million after the hand. He won some pots after to climb to more than 10 million and is the massive chip leader.

Erick Lindgren was all in with A-A against an opponent’s A-K. The aces held and Lindgren was at 1.4 million.
Jens Kyllonen Eliminated
All the money went in preflop with Jens Kyllonen holding 9-9 and Bryan Follain holding pocket aces. The board bricked for the nines and Kyllonen was gone. Follain was at about 5 million after the hand.
Sami Kelopuro Eliminated
Sami Kelopuro was down to under 10 big blinds and got his stack in preflop with K-5. He was called by A-7 and was live. However, the board ran out in his opponent’s favor and he was gone.
Eli Elezra Eliminated
Eli Elezra got his short stack in with pocket tens against Jared Vengrin’s K-K. The under pair failed to come from behind and Elezra was gone.
Sorel Mizzi Suffers Brutal Beat, Hits Rail
Sorel Mizzi was all in with 6-6 on a 9-9-6 board. His opponent held J-9 and the board brought running aces to give Mizzi’s opponent a better full house.

Kyllonen Doubles Up
Sep 06, '09
With not too much action preflop (judging from the size of the pot in the middle), the board shows Q 10 2 . Under the gun plus 1 bets 25,000 and Kyllonen reraises all in for 56,300. His opponent calls and the turn and river fall the 9 and the 3.
Kyllonen shows Q J to take down a pot worth about 120,000. His opponent loses a big chunk of his stack with A 10.

Go Shorty It's Your Birthday
Sep 07, '09
 The shortstacks are trying to double up as the field gets smaller and smaller.
Samer Rahman bets 16,000 from the cutoff plus 1. Mike McDonald is next to act and he raises it to 42,500 from the cutoff. Mohamed Naddaf on the button pushes all in for 120,000 and Rahman gets out of the way.
McDonald watches his opponent and then shakes his head and mucks. Naddaf takes the pot.
Elsewhere, a player in middle position bets 12,000, Jens Kyllonen raises it up to 31,000 from the button, and then Michael Greco decides to make his move. He pushes all in for 148,000 from the big blind. It’s folded around and Greco rakes it in.
There are 54 remaining.

Sep 08, '09
 Jens Kyllonen and Carter Philips just tangoed and Philips got the best of it.
Kyllonen kicked off the betting from the button, Philips raised, Kyllonen shoved, and Philips called. They turned over their cards:
Kyllonen: J J
Philips: K K
Board: 10 6 6 5 x
They count the chips as the stacks look reasonably similar and everything gets pushed in Philips’ direction.
