With the tournament seeing nine bust outs and two broken tables in a little over a level and a half - we are now down to the final two tables.
Only one will reach the money, and understandably after the initial onslaught of eliminations, play has began to slow down.
Currently players are slowly starting to jostle for position as they make their run at the $266,690 first prize, coveted trophy and title of APPT Macau High Rollers Champion for 2009!

"I've seen better days..."
Terrence Chan has just been eliminated from the High Roller's Event by Australia's Jonathan 'xMONSTERxDONGx' Karamalikis, who played the hand back for us:
Neil Arce opened the pot with a raise to 15,000. Chan then bumped it to 44,000 and when the action got around to Karamalikis, he kicked it up to 100,000. Arce surrendered, returning the action to Chan who moved all in for just over 200,000. Karamalikis made the call holding pocket queens and Chan tabled two jacks.
For a moment it looked like Chan would catch a break after spiking a set of jacks on the flop, but Karamalikis resucked on the turn, spiking a third queen to win the pot and send Chan to the rail.
After the hand, Karamalikis stacked up 760,000 in chips to move into the overall chip lead.

Allan Le now on the rail
We found a three-way all in pot brewing with both Allan Le and Michael Marvanek at risk.
Nicolas Wong:
Marvanek:
Le:
The flop of kept Marvanek in the lead, but when the fell on the turn, Marvanek would have to sweat a diamond as Le already started making his way to the rail.
Although the river would land a red card, it would be the to see Le eliminated and Marvanek triple to 270,000 in chips.

Will Ma on the rail
Will Ma three-bet all in over a Neil Arce preflop raise, and once Arce made the call, the cards were tabled.
Ma:
Arce:
The flop of saw Ma surge into the lead with top set, and leave Arce only drawing to running cards for a straight or Quads.
When the landed on the turn, Arce would need one of the six remaining Kings or eights to make a straight that wasn't a spade.
Unfortunately for Ma, he will be unable to replicate his 2008 final table when the was dealt on the river to see him hit the rail as Arce climbs to 260,000 in chips.

With Chen drawing dead thanks to Kim's turned full house, he would make his way to the rail before even having a chance to see the river land.
