Action Summary
John Hanson charged back to even in chips with David Bach as 7 a.m. in the morning approached (their fourth hour of heads-up play). Bach was able to stave off the fifth lead change of the heads-up final and his chip lead currently stands steady at 8.6 million.
There are now just three spectators left in the stands as the final table has now been playing for 17 hours, and most of that has featured little to no table talk among the players. In other news, the final table just crossed the 400-hand threshold.

Action Summary

The chip lead seesawed back to Hanson once again, but thanks to another dominant run in Omaha eight-or-better Bach charged in front once again, holding a 2-1 chip lead as the hour approached six a.m.
